In plain English what is PowerShell Core's utility? Re-asking the question by way of parallel, the DOS commands of rename and copy (xcopy) have far superior advantages over Windows in how simply and easily multiple file changes can be made by anyone who takes the small steps of understanding the very basic command structure of either DOS command. Similarly in non-technical language would someone please translate and give some insight as to what utility PowerShell Core could give to anyone who already is extensively using, say CSV files as a means to link the data from various noncompatible programs? I ask because I did try and find public sources but the following two are examples of dictionary explanations which circular in nature and truly unhelpful in explaining the power of PowerShell Core. 10 cool things you can do with Windows PowerShell https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-cool-things-you-can-do-with-w...
