honestly your point is a bit weird.

powershell is good. its much better than unix's everything piped is Text idea. godawfull that. outputs being objects is a really solid take.

WSL is trash.

besides that, lf vs. crlf is silly as you mention but crlf is more logical considering what its implementing. that being said the notion of these control chars is already based on outdated and limited ideas.

if you want a consistent system to do things with dont pick a system which tries to be two systems.

Linux has wine. Windows has WSL.

I'd recommend BSD. any flavor will do.

might take some adjustments but you will have a more 'rational' system if that is what you desire.

(otherwise, embrace the madness!)

Glad I'm not alone here ha!

Being able to go someoutput | Format-Table | Select ColumnName,ColumnName,CloumnName is great. Beats memorizing the output format of any specific command and trying to wrangle it with awk.
