Not that the Bourne shell POSIX sh is based on got it right, either. That's why we have rc, after all.

sh allows you to pass *any* string as an argument if you're sufficiently careful and follow a few straightforward rules. PowerShell hopelessly mangles arguments containing double-quotes and backslashes, and there's no workaround less complex than just calling CreateProcess yourself.
I find it very difficult to care about PowerShell's fancy object piping when basic arguments don't work right.

Unlike the lack of structured data in pipes, this is something that can be fixed in the shell itself, i. e. without modifying all programs/cmdlets.
