I love powershell because I have a basic working knowledge of Linux commands. In bash this means I have to google a bit for even slightly complex things like 'change the extension of all .swp files under this directory'. In powershell the short syntax tends to be noisy but I usually can start with the linux commands and muddle through with tab completion: ls -r *.swp | % { mv $_ ($_.FullName -replace ".swp$", ".swap") }
