Is there any reason to use Powershell on Linux? (lemmy.world)

I have used bash, zsh, ksh, and now powershell. I am by no means an expert on UNIX shells. I could get all my work done on any one of these. My main shell is Zsh with some oh-my-zsh plugins because I'm lazy. What can you do in powershell that you can't do in any other shell? Also, does the shell you use even matter? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Yes sure! Unfortunately most companies which I work for (insurance and banks mostly) still use windows quite often...
