Re: Long-time Linux and Windows Admin here

Agree nearly 100%.

"A simple example would be to compare typing 'vi httpd.conf' on Linux to manage Apache to the dozens and dozens of PowerShell Cmdlets which exist to manage IIS on Windows Server."

The bit you are forgetting here is that once you have typed you 'vi httpd.conf' into the CLI, you actually have to know the syntax for the setting you want to configure! Of course, if it's just changing and existing setting from one value to another then that's relatively straight-forward but you get my point.
