Former Windows Admin who still uses Powershell on *nix. Once you get over the hump, you will find it's pretty darn good scripting language. Personally, I find it much more maintainable since verb-noun is clunky while writing but much easier to read.


For me my brain can NOT stop trying to use it as a CMD replacement. The CMD commands just do not work (duh its not CMD!). I then have to have that 'kerthunk' spot where I try to use the newer commands. Nothing wrong with powershell. It is just my brain for some reason can not let go of CMD in this context. Jump to bash no sweat. But for some reason my brain just will not use powershell correctly and I have no idea why. Great scripting lang and way better than bash or CMD script.
