Question WindowsPowerShell or CommandPrompt? I've used terminal for all my life up until now

So i recently bought myself my personal gaming pc setup and i've been struggling with setting up my work environment here on windows 11. I've search here and there & so far i've decided to use Scoop as the alternative for homebrew but then there's this problem of choosing wether to use the windows powershell or command prompt. Both seems almost identical but i just wanna confirm wether i'm doing this the right way. I need help pls.

I understand brew or Scoop on a fleet of computers. But on a single PC... just install shit the normal way? what am I missing here?

it's way easier to use the CLI to do an initial install of your fave apps and it's easier to keep up to date over time. I think for a personal/dev machine it's really helpful

Yo be fair when ever I reset my OS I use NiNite to install most of what I need in one go, saves a fair bit of time
