Messages “Stop-Process : Command execution stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Cannot find a process with the process identifier 13.” look ugly with “Command execution stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop”. The real message should be in the first place, then “Command execution stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop” may come if you like. “Command execution stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop” makes it harder to find needed information :)

When ErrorActionPreference is set to Inquire then information about error source (i.e. + ...\script.ps1 At line:... char:...) has to be included into the Inquire message. In fact, my decision often completely depends on where exactly an error is.

ErrorActionPreference I read if set to "stop" Trap will always be called. this does not seem to be true. it seems that the script or shell halts at the error and trap is not called
