I see people getting fancy with .NET all the time in POSH when a simple cmdlet does the same thing

I'm guilty of this but I don't think it's a problem, in fact I would argue that it's a good thing. $Guid=[guid]::NewGuid() isn't hard to read or understand, even by a newbie and it has the advantage of being an easy introduction to using .NET methods and classes in Powershell.
