"Within PowerShell, you can call out to your Unix tools" -- so the answer, to the question "how closely does PowerShell emulate Unix scripting?", is "totally". That seems like a pretty objective and plausible answer to me.
The questioner did not ask which was _better_, but how close one is to the other, and on particular dimensions. If a question like that is too controversial or slippery to answer, then I don't see how S.O. can answer any question about choices among technologies.
I think some moderators just saw Windows vs Unix and reflexively decided a food fight must ensue. And that's just sloppy.
