Interesting. A few experts that haved dived in heavily to Powershell and they seem to like it. It follows what I'd consider is a very simple format and structure.

Whether it's good or not, I think it will take off in the MS world since it will be built into every server in the next 3-5 years. At that point, you'll start using it as a default. Just like VBScript, which is relatively simple to start with, and then gets horribly convoluted, established itself since it was built into Windows.
