Powershell has grown on me. Over time I've worn down and started utilizing my Windows install in the Windows way. I think Powershell is a well overlooked feature of the platform, to the point where I now have moved a lot of my scripts/automations on my home server (Linux based) from bash/js/.NET 7 binaries to Powershell Core.
Big asterisk, my day job is as a .NET/C# developer. So much of Powershell does feel like a .NET wrapper or C#-lite, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It lends itself very well to feeling like a traditional programming language. Hell, it even has a debugger! My only real complaint about it and adoption thus far is the release management. Windows 11 _still_ ships with 5.1, and 7 is leagues ahead in terms of performance and features.
