Powershell has plenty of warts and weird design choices, but hopefully once you immerse yourself in it you'll find it's actually fairly nice to work with. The "object pipeline" nature of it means that working with complex structured data is far easier than trying to mangle the same data as lines of text in a traditional shell.
- beoberha 4y agoI’m with you. Powershell is a jarring experience for someone not used to it. Heck, it’s still jarring for me and I’ve been working at Microsoft for over 5 years. I truly dislike writing it. That said, it’s so much more “usable” than any other shell or scripting language. It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t used it, but I even reach for Powershell over Python in my daily work.
