> If I'm doing something complex enough to really benefit from "everything is and object" then why not just use a more capable language like python?

I've seen this line of reasoning mentioned a lot but never justified.

A few reasons to stick with Powershell over Python:

Team might not be familiar with Python (and the benefits of learning might be outweighed by the learning curve, shallow as it might be)

Hard to judge what the cutover point is (namely at what point does a script benefit from being written in Python?)

A lot (some?) of stuff out of the box in PS requires libraries in Python, which requires installation, which cannot happen during the script (I think at least, I've not done that much Python)
