> Lack of 'separation of data/presentation' is what made unix ubiquitous.

I think standardization and easy scripting made Unix ubiquitous. Making a regex to search for start time in ps output did not.

> It's also what made HTML ubiquitous.

Most HTML on the internet uses CSS for presentation.

> I think it's great that powershell is getting full, native ssh support -- because then I can manage windows computers in a non-ridiculous way

So it's non ridiculous, but you'd still be using Powershell, which you just said is garbage. I'm not following.

You seem /really/ pissed off. I'm not sure why.

...now. That was extremely not the case during the period that HTML grew popular.

It's non ridiculous because my control scripts can be written in a real scripting language, dispatching generated powershell commands to windows machine over the same protocol that real computers use. Powershell itself isn't really the attraction in this case.

> You seem /really/ pissed off. I'm not sure why.

I'm not sure why you would think that. They're just opinions. I can consider something garbage without getting emotional about it. Actual garbage in a garbage can, for instance.
