PowerShell has real data structures (arrays and hash tables), built-in functional programming tools (Select-Object, ForEach-Object, Where-Object), GUI cmdlets (Out-GridView) and direct access to .NET libraries. It’s a viable tool for many complex tasks where on Unix, you’d need to reach for Python rather than a shell.
