Powershell really became interesting for me recently. I was working on diagnosing a production issue where one of our win32 applications failed on loading a .net assembly (dll). The error messages weren't terribly useful, and I wasn't getting a good stack trace. While Googling around, I found out that you can randomly instantiate .net objects from the PS command line. A few commands later and I had a full stack trace indicating the problem.
