Steps to reproduce
Launch PowerShell in your favorite terminal.
Expected behavior
The prompt I've set up in my PowerShell profile.
Actual behavior
I get the following boilerplate:
"But Immo, you can turn this off by using
-nologo". Yes. But I have to do this in every single one of the places that launches the shell: shortcuts in the start menu, pinned task bar entries, the Windows Terminal commands, the VS Code integrated terminal, the Visual Studio terminal, Git GUI clients etc. It's tiring. If there would be a user wide setting, that might be an OK workaround, but every time I set up a new machine I have to add these extra arguments -- just to get a shell that is ready for use.The year is 2021. We're embracing command line stuff and simple text files for the modern dev environment (really, we're just rediscovering Unix philosophy, but that's a different rant 😄). It seems the default shell behavior should optimize for this kind of user, rather than forcing this boilerplate on everyone that arguably adds zero value to their experience.
