I always enjoyed using it in reverse: when you build a .NET app it is very easy to add a CLI by exposing .NET code as cmdlets. This gives you documentation, completions and arg parsing for free while you stay in your application language. This is super useful. Think of it as the .NET and PS equivalent of a manage.py script. I agree that PS as a language is quite unusual (e.g. how it returns results) but on the other hand it’s concept of structured data also makes it powerful in ways that old-school Windows scripting or bash are not.
