What things are you not able to do with PowerShell that you can with Bash + utilities? PowerShell literally gives you access to every way you can manipulate a string in C#. I get it, you're familiar with bash. But just because you know how to do something with something you're familiar with, doesn't mean PowerShell can't do what you wanted it to do.
Not trying to be combative, but learning any new language is going to require some dogfooding and digging in order to be as efficient as something you're already familiar with. I use bash and PowerShell daily. I can't think of any one thing I couldn't do in one or the other. Bash usually requires tying in another tool though. It's not strictly bash at that point. People saying stuff like jq. I rarely find that pre-installed. And if it's your machine, you can just as easily install something that doesn't require you to learn multiple languages (jq is a language).
I here you. I've been there. I'd lazily prod you to give POSH another shake. I've no horse in this race but I think you're missing out if you weren't able to accomplish in POSH what you were able to do in bash.
