    Hi malxau. I am fully aware of your tools. Actually I am using yori in both my personal and work laptops. However, I am a fan of PowerShell, while my colleagues are not. I tried to use nano for Windows as a CLI text editor, yet I got used to micro. But I agree. It has been more than 5 years since the initial Core version was released and still the tooling is poor. An admin cannot just ssh into a windows server and do the work when it is required. Yes, RSAT is great. But for a Linux shop who has limited use of Windows, things get hard. And Windows Admin Center is not that good yet.
