It felt less powerful than PowerShell to me, and didn’t feel like it brought anything different to the table that would warrant me to switch. It also has far less tooling and plugin support.

It doesn't seem so. While not immediately clear, this article doesn't seem to be claiming ownership of the project. It is a third-party review/introduction. They link to the project after the first section.

Powershell is powerful because of the deep integration with the .NET ecosystem, and by extension, the OS.
This new shell lacks that, I agree. But I think it's a way harder problem to solve on linux.
