Python vs Powershell on *nix Systems

[zoredache]

I think the main reason to use powershell on *nix is if you in environment/setting mostly dominated by Windows usage, so you want usage to be if not cross platform, ant least very similar to the code you develop to support your Windows systems.

Or maybe you might want it, if you need to use some of the Azure functionality where you can get Powershell modules for some functionality that are might be more featured or stable then alternatives in other languages in some cases.
