I love the idea of PowerShell, especially as scripts become more complex, having something closer to a “real” language and with decent debugger support is great. However it’s just unintuitive enough, with enough sharp corners, to be a real pain. I find if I haven’t used it for more than a couple weeks, then even doing trivial things require significant time and about a dozen browser tabs of docs. That said, trying to remember how to use the various *nix tools like curl, find, tar, etc. and wrap them in a bash script isn’t easy either. No free lunch I guess.
