Honestly, same on both counts. I’m really glad my extensive batch file days are well behind me. And as much as I like Powershell’s idea of structured output between commands, I never really gelled with the

is the fact that people can with effort and error figure out how to do something a reason not to make it easier for them to do?
I mean
you can in theory write multi-threaded bug-free C code – just read the docs and the specs and the source of your libs and never ever do something that seems to work but is subtly fatally incorrect
and yet we still have golang and rust and many other options to do things more safely and easily
if someone wants to use Linux but doesn’t want to memorize the Hundred Mandatory Commands and Thousand Flags lest they accidentally
cat > /dev/sda
, why shouldn’t there be a system for them?

cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean
20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in
at the bottom of the mariana trench you’d get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker
it’ll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel
the real question is: where are you putting all this water
