"terminal as a first class citizen"

Because it operates at the object level rather than the files and strings of nix shells, Windows Powershell is more or less "one ring to rule them all."

At the risk of stating the obvious, Powershell is a shell, not a terminal.

A terminal without a command shell is hardly a first class citizen.
