This is how it went for me: One day I typed "curl" in a PS window and I got this Invoke-WebRequest thingy. I toyed with it and decided I preferred to actually download curl for my initial purpose.

Now I know Invoke-WebRequest exists and I like it, so now I have two different tools to accomplish similar things.

And don't get me wrong, I actually agree that this use of the aliases is wrong and should be changed. We now have two options here, wait for MS to do it or fork the project. After all, it's open source.




Great comment.
