Microsoft Edge, anyone?

I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious... does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn't ever considered. Including one which means I'll have to install Edge, so... thanks, I guess. 😂

Just wait until Microsoft releases a .deb of Windows Terminal.
- Powershell is already available for Linux
  
  Well I guess if you need scripts to work in a mixed Windows/Linux environment that makes sense. On the other hand the few times I have to touch powershell it's so verbose and cryptic at the same time, so I think I'll stick with bash personally.
  
  As a PowerShell expert, I can confirm it is suuuper verbose and yet cryptic. It’s a real shell, much better than it’s predecessor, but still with plenty of bad decisions in its design and implementation. My theory is that they only watched a 1-hour presentation on Bash before spending a weekend designing PowerShell.
  
  It also plays really well with .NET if you are using that.
  
  In many ways, Linux is the premiere .NET environment now.
  
  Shell != Terminal
