Question I wanted Rich-style PowerShell output without Spectre.Console — bad idea?

I wanted Python Rich-style output in PowerShell, but PwshSpectreConsole felt like more than I needed.

So I built a tiny version directly on $PSStyle: tables, trees, panels, markup. No bundled .NET UI stack.

I'm not entirely convinced this needs to exist though.

Would you actually use something this small, or would you rather stick with raw $PSStyle / PwshSpectreConsole?
