I agree. I was ambivalent-to-positive about PowerShell but now i absolutely loathe it after being forced to use it ( forced often by myself, because it was still the best option to work with the absolutely terrible APIs and SDKs of VMware products). I hate it so much I've wondered about starting a series on my blog called "Tech that really grinds my gears" ( Family Guy reference) where i rant about terrible software like PowerShell and VMware vSphere.
