Re: I would get it fired for inventing Powershell

Several years ago I was writing software that required me to test against several enterprise backup packages. One of them had a UI that appeared to have been generated by parsing the output of the command line help for tar. Even down to some options effectively being duplicated.

I can't remember which one it was now. Like most of its ilk it was complicated and unwieldy to use.
