I have tried PowerShell multiple times and hated it every time. They either should have gone with a language like bash or gone straight to C# as scripting language. Powershell is that weird in between that does nothing well.

I know a lot of people love Powershell though.

Agreed. I tried automating an installation of some software in powershell. I kept getting different errors on different windows machines depending on what version of Windows they were on and what features they had installed. Ended up rewriting the whole thing in C#. Runs everywhere I need it to and zero issues.
