Pipexec – Handling pipe of commands like a single command
I use mutlios and even I'm not that attached to it. The majority of my use is combined with process substitution, and could be replaced with common-ish tools like pee¹ or pipexec for more complex cases. The only occasion when I'm thankful for it is if I want to use a shell function as a target, but there are workarounds for that too.
As a noclobber user the footgun is largely hidden to me, but I feel its presence. multios without globbing support would be less useful, but would still work for most of my use cases. Scanning my shell history I see various cases of relying on zsh's ability to apply sorting and filtering to globs with multios' input redirection, but only a couple where I want that in output redirection.
Even with multios unset the behaviour is different between zsh and bash. For example, multios disables all the expansion, so zsh behaves like more like dash with ': >t{1,2}' by creating a file instead producing an error like bash does.
[FWIW, I google'd multiios to link the option in original comment. It really feels to me like it needs double-i, and I read the single i name the same way you do.]

I'd be one of those people whose desire for dgsh-like functionality wanes. If it was slight DSL that I could "upgrade" pipelines to I'd probably use it, but not enough to warrant working on it or switching other tooling to support it.
The end of result of this morning's pipeline was breaking my jobs up, and applying some judicious use of nq² to keep track of it. I'd follow your advice and move on to more specialist tools if the job grew significantly or if it became a regular occurrence.

The shell and its crappy handling of whitespace
For filesystem operations like batch renames at least, I am usually happy with `vidir` (part of `moreutils`: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/).
`vidir [path]` will open an editor with the given directory as buffer contents.

See also: "vipe" from the excellent "moreutils" package: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/
There are some other gems in this package. The ones I find myself using regularly are 'ts' and 'sponge' but I'm sure the useful subset depends a lot on the kind of work you are doing

Vim Keybindings Everywhere – The Ultimate List
Joey Hess' excellent moreutils¹ comes with vipe which is a generalised solution for these types of tasks. It allows you to run whatever $EDITOR you've configured mid-pipe, making it possible to work your changes up in an interactive editor session. Useful for those of us not smart enough to write up our changes as a series of -c arguments ;)
(It fixes the vim issue by virtue of using a temporary file to do the magic)

Sounds like `vidir` from moreutils.

How to re-order the strings of a filename in bulk?
I would use vidir from moreutils. Then you can do any edits and play around with any regexes you want!

Should i learn file management using terminal?
For bulk file renaming, I recommend vidir from moreutils - it lets you rename everything in a directory with your $EDITOR (vim being the default).

Sudo for Windows
This smells like when PowerShell aliased curl and wget to a completely different command, with incompatible arguments.

Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
PowerShell is available on macOS and Linux as well (source on Github: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell). It may not be as well-integrated with things like system services management, but the language still works well. You can still use all the command line tools you're used to on Linux, of course.
nushell does look interesting, though the lack of a .deb repository does put it pretty low on my to-do list.

Just messing around with arrays and efficiency in PS, thought I'd share
Note: This can be problematic as it prevents upstream commands from running their end {} block. See here. The new clean {} block introduced in PowerShell v7.3 does not suffer from this issue.

Can you give an example of something that PS can do that is built-in for text processing, instead of a proprietary symbolic query language?

The bash book to rule them all
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/LICENSE... is the MIT license. (Microsoft supplies debs directly which may reduce the motivation for Debian to do so.)
Oh, heh, also https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/bu... the build script is written in PowerShell, so there's a bootstrapping problem :-) (Debian has solved those before of course, but with community sentiment like the above maybe noone is motivated to bother.)

Register-ArgumentCompleter: how to fall back to file completion when completing a flag such as "--foo="
According to https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/19628, the default behaviour is invoked whenever the completion script returns no output. To attempt to do so, I tried exiting the script via returning an empty string, or using the return keyword to exit the script completely, unfortunately with no avail. Is there a technique to achieve what I want, and is there any documentation about it other than the official one? Thank you in advance.
