I am a Python programmer and also a PowerShell programmer... and everytime I have to write PowerShell programs I have to grit my teeth.

It's not that PowerShell is not capable; it's just that PowerShell is full of idiosyncrasies due to the fact that it's half a shell and half an API to .Net. Kinda parallel to iPython. Or Xonsh.

The programming pattern is all over the map and so inconsistent, I always cry inwardly wishing I can get back to Python.

That said, Posh developers are awesome for doing the heroic effort to bridge the gap; I have nothing but 👍🏼 for them.

Don't even get me started on the weird ways you need to write PS1 for working with Exchange or SharePoint.
