    Powershell is starting to become more common. But simple directory listing is actually much faster in cmd as Powershell treats everything as an object while cmd just dumps the contents as text.

    Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn't support ls.

    I can tell it's been a while since you used windows 😁.

    Some of us are forced to btw.

    Modern "command prompt" on windows is called Terminal and supports both PowerShell and CMD commands.

    Windows Terminal is shipped with Windows and defaults to PowerShell. Too bad Windows ships some ancient PS version by default but winget install Microsoft.PowerShell isn't that complicated.

    Who is the “common person” listing directory contents via the command line instead of the explorer window?

    I don't. Not that this has to be true for others but I use the command line for ping, ipconfig, and winget.
