If you are bothered by the verbose `Verb-Noun` structure of commands, those are mostly used in scripts (and you never type them fully, you use tab-completion of course). On the commandline you use aliases for many of them.
For example listing files and directories created in the last 10 days:
ls | ? CreationTime -ge (Get-Date).AddDays(-10) | ft name, size
Get-ChildItem | Where-Object CreationTime -ge (Get-Date).AddDays(-10) | Format-Table Name, Size
If you don’t like the Verb-Noun nonsense I’d encourage you to look at the default aliases as they make everything a lot less verbose. For example Where-Object is just “where” or getchild-item is default aliased to ls and gci.
Id encourage you to look at NuShell as well since it is mostly the same philosophy as PowerShell.
Bad for your reasons (slow etc), good for siblings (objects).
Also, understandable flags that auto-shorten. Eg:
Descriptive-Command-Name -DescriptiveOption 32
Can be typed as:
d-c-n <tab> -des 32

Interactively it's still far behind zsh sadly due to startup time but when I'm doing something thoughtful I prefer it. If you're not entering directories and doing small stuff, use pwsh. And for all shell scripting
