A lot of sysadmins: 1. Aren't "very intelligent". 2. Aren't smart enough to learn C#, let alone well enough to do systems programming to replace PowerShell.

A lot of sysadmins:
1. Aren't "very intelligent".
2. Aren't smart enough to learn C#, let alone well enough to do systems programming to replace PowerShell.
3. Don't have the time/desire to learn C#, even if they are capable.
4. Don't have the time to write systems management code in C#, as opposed to PowerShell.
Back when I started UNIX system administration, pretty much all sysadmins knew C and could write arbitrary system management utilities in C.
This is no longer the case, for better or worse, the world needs more sysadmins and Microsoft has released server software that can be managed by relatively minimally-skilled people who know how to Google and copy/paste code from websites.
