    You asked CLI from Microsoft, you got it. Same shit in Linux with 1000+ characters commands to do something.
    And yes, it’s insane and (for example) office 365 admin via PowerShell is exhausting.

    @NoToJavaScript unfortunately I know :-(

    I have to deal daily with automating your an insane level O365 stuff... not much SP up to now... and now I miss Linux more than ever!!!!

    @PsCustomObject Well, next you should try to download your SSL certificate from Azure Vault. THAT was a “fun” activity.

    @NoToJavaScript It's possible though very rare.

    and it's VERY unlikely to have param names even least half that long in Linux/UNIX shell commands. Excl. java ofc.

    Did you know you can use the shortest name uniquely identifying the parameter?

    E.g. if you have a Cmdlet with the parameters -VeryLongParameter and -VShort, you should be able to call it with -Ve and -VS.
