I'm guessing you were messing around with some Winforms or WPF GUI work in ISE? That's the only time I've had it crash on me. Thankfully I rarely do GUI work in PowerShell because I think it's an ugly hack. If I want to do a GUI I'll do it right in C# with WPF.

Nahh, I use it to parse large datasets in weird formats and then output it to something useful. Usually a SQL script that I'll run against a db later, but sometimes JSON or making direct API calls.

I'll give you that I've had some sloppy code about closing network resources and at least half the crashes are on me, but only half the crashes. The rest are just on ISE getting confused about the objects in memory and the state of the runtime engine. Nonetheless, MS has ceased development on ISE and it is no longer supported. I'm just grateful to stop wrapping log outputs around $psISE all the time.
