Agree - I find the thing incomprehensible without some sort of intellisense running (which I abhor I tell you abhor!) seems arcane and weird to me and much prefer c# but "WHY ARE ATTACKERS USING POWERSHELL?" - simply because its already there probably? And cmdlets are a bit like nmap scripts - if you can read lua you can probably spitball them together. I'm not sure that ps is amazingly more powerful - just all we before was .bat from hell and debug sadly gone now...
