PowerShell is pretty damn awesome once you get the hang of it. The way objects are passed via pipe allows for really cool things like get-foo | where {$_.bar -eq 1} and you can serialize the output of most commands with get-foo | convertto-json. I use this feature all the time. Get-ADObject | convertto-json will give you a dump of your entire AD.
