#250
It is a nice tool, but as the name says it's a core version of PowerShell designed to work on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). As such, when it's ready and released it will not contain anything native Windows PS does not contain.
In my case the major factor for not to use PS Core is the lack of ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment). Writing scripts for my personal use or to be posted here I use PS ISE which makes it easy to write and test / debug them. The Command Add-on in ISE is a magnificent tool, too; if you are not sure about options and switches for a cmdlet, you can just open it in Command Add-on, select options you want to and click Run to execute the command in PS.
Please do not take me wrong. PS Core is super because it takes PS to all major operating systems. I've been and will continue testing it, but it's not for me.

Thanks Cliff:
It install beautifully and after "sudo chown marty /opt/microsoft/ -R" and running pwsh, PS /home/marty update-help completed successfully I will install the program over a previous rc of pwershell 6 in Windows Server 2016 and then Windows 10
typing help brings up the manpage for powershell or its equivalent.
This is the build we will likely get this week. If no new build is up tomorrow (Tues) then it quite likely we will get the following on Weds. Of course we must await word from our mistress :)
10.0.17045.1000 (rs_prerelease.171117-1429)
OK. No build this week I think. 10.0.17046.1000 (rs_prerelease.171118-1403) compiled Sat has been posted to buildfeed.net This, in combination with a holiday weekend, means no build. Am I I correct Dona? Happy T-day geeks. I know some turkeys won't be flying
