Yup. I'm not going to get into a vacuous PowerShell bashing discussionlet here, but let's just say that PS didn't fulfill the promises the documentation made. I found that the marshaling semantics were often quite surprising and required awkward workarounds (really don't unflatten lists of people, okay?). I second the "everything is about five syllables" and sure, you can set up aliases, but I went through that hell on VAX/VMS and don't want to go back.
