When I use PowerShell, I try to use 'pure' PowerShell, so I don't invoke any unwrapped DOS/cmd or Unix (Cygwin, gow, whatever) commands. (This is actually pretty easy to do, in that everything I've ever thought of doing can be done in pure PowerShell.) The resulting experience is really nice, since everything returned to me is a nice PowerShell object. The cost, of course, is having to learn how to do everything anew.
