I haven't used PowerShell much, but I skimmed a 500+ page book on it, and I've heard a lot of mixed feedback on it. Some people love it and some people hate it.

Windows and Unix are fundamentally different and it means they need fundamentally different shells, since a shell is by definition a language closely tied to the OS. You can run powershell on Unix, and bash on Windows, but even on the same OS they are somewhat disjoint tools!
