Consider also that getting PowerShell doesn't solve the "how do I"
problem. People who don't know PS would still have to look up how to do
the same thing on there. If you're already familiar with Linux, and
chances are you are if you're using Archlinux, then PowerShell won't
solve any problems for you in almost every case.
It's neat that PowerShell is ported now, but I do scratch my head and
wonder what niche it will fill that would merit anything more than
placement on the AUR.

linux shell how to do this and that
If you don't know how to find the size and name of the three largest
files in a directory, but only of those files that have a size value
that is a prime number in MiB and a file name that does contain the
letters "a" and "f", but does not include the numbers "3" and "6", you
more likely will find hints how to do this by common used Linux and
BSD
tools, than hints how to do this with a Microsoft shell.
This is not an argument pro or con PowerShell. I don't care
if it is in a repo or not. I just wonder about arguing pro PowerShell
by providing examples that are solvable by either already having the
Linux knowledge or by using a search engine with the keyword Linux, to
get Linux knowledge.
