I'm a developer with 30 years experience in lots of languages and honestly PowerShell one of my favorite. Of course anything is an improvement over batch file scripting but it's so much better than bash. An object-oriented command line is amazing - such a huge improvment over having to use text-processing tools to parse output. Built-in support for virtually every text file format, easy access to web and rest services, and now that it's cross-platform and open-source I'm using it consistently on Linux and Macs. I've been using it for almost 15 years and it's sad how few people outside of the Windows eco-system are familiar with it, and even more resistant just because it's from MS.
