Yep. And 'wget' is often alias for WebRequest in PowerShell. The amount of footguns I ran into while trying to get a simple Windows Container CI job running, oh man

"curl" being aliased to "Invoke-WebRequest" is also a massive dick move

yea, curl.exe and curl are two different commands on windows. Fun stuff.

It's a completely new shell, new commands for everything, no familiar affordances for common tasks, so they add user-configurable, user-removable aliases from DOS/macOS/Linux so that people could have some on-ramp, something to type that would do something. That's not a dick move at all, that's a helpful move.

Harassing the creator/team for years because a thing you don't use doesn't work the way you want it to work? That is.

They removed it in PowerShell core 9 years ago! 9 years! And you're still fixated on it!
