Yeah, I agree that PowerShell is great for scripting. I don't do that much scripting on my personal Linux systems that really calls for PowerShell, but I like using PowerShell for hitting HTTP APIs or processing structured data at work.

Hahahaha! Oof.
It's more work, but when I use PowerShell, I try to use pure PowerShell, both for aesthetic reasons (cleanliness, ‘portability’) and just in order to practice and learn more PowerShell APIs along the way.
