TBH, I think if the language was done properly, PowerShell would significantly boost Windows' attractiveness to devs and admins, and would probably meaningfully spill over into Linux as well (I'm aware there's a Linux version, but best I can tell nobody uses it if they can avoid it).

Unfortunately the bar set by CMD was far too easy to clear, and Jeffrey created a language that only its mother could love. It does add value, there's no question there, but _in spite_ of the language, not thanks to it. The value add is mostly in bindings.

MS would do well to reuse the same bindings but have Anders Hejlsberg design the language instead IMO.
