Upon reading that again maybe I should have said it's weakness is that it's easy for everyone involved to create objects that use a lot of memory. I'm not sure it's fair to say PowerShell itself is bad at utilizing or managing memory. It's more of a possible negative side effect of one of its great strengths.
