windows sysadmins like it, I guess. I serve mid-size banks and everyone is running mainframe and windows server. I use powershell + .net operationally in the same way a linux guy would use bash + python. I know HN is a cloud-first developer community but there is an entire planet of businesses who are software consumers rather than software development firms. Windows is running /a lot/ of stuff even if you personally are not seeing it. I know a lot of people don't like how verbose cmdlets are, but I find tab completing them to be just as fast and easier to remember than linux's alphabet of case sensitive switches that barely represent the underlying function. Oh, and keep in mind that we evolved to this from .vbs, which was horrible.
