I hope they change the options. I think this is way too long for a command:

* Install-Package -Name firefox

When in Linux I can just do this:

* apt-get install firefox

I would love to see this:

Package -install firefox



I've always thought verb-noun made more sense (since functionality in powershell isn't bundled/accessed as a complete program it has that flexibility).

* Install-Package firefox

would be hugely preferable, though. Smart defaults are good things!


That is pretty much an impossibility as it's a Powershell cmdlet which follows a verb-noun rule for naming things.


This requirement has kept me away from taking powershell seriously. English is a horrible language for telling computers what to do.
