dir C:\
List-Directory-With-Files Drive=C Folder=/
Just another reason to stay away from Windows as a platform. Windows 10 is a moving target if you are trying to work with it.
I'm probably wrong, but can you not type "ps" into CMD and get the PowerShell prompt? If so, can you do it the other way around as well?
So basically instead of doing dir C:\ I have to learn to type List-Directory-With-Files Drive=C Folder=/ (made up example, but you get the point)

But all parameters on DIR and LS seem to result in errors, even "dir /h", "dir /?", "dir -h", "dir --help", etc. That is a bit annoying.

"Typing cmd in the run dialog will launch PowerShell as well" What? I'm a big PowerShell fan, but I see the need to keep cmd around for a while. Clobbering it before it's phased out seems problematic.
You can run any command from CMD in Powershell
With the amount of online posts that tell you "to achieve X, open command prompt and run ...", it would be a bad idea to break any of them that go beyond a simple command. (so for example any "FOR ..." lines)
Hopefully one day Bash will be the default Windows CLI.
