PowerShell is just so much nicer to use than anything where text munging is the only way to do things, and it’s just as “pluggable” as Unix shell commands. And it can output text (or JSON or XML or YAML) or whatever you want easily by piping into relevant commands (or just not piping anywhere if you wanted text). I don’t imagine those are going anywhere anytime soon but I think it is wrong to say the system cannot be improved upon.
