Powershell's syntax is so fucking weird and verbose. I guess if you live in Microsoft land all day and write code in C# it's fine, but I would really like it if we all could collectively agree on one set of syntax rules. I don't even care what they are. But as a polyglot I am so sick of having to learn yet another syntax. cmd.exe does everything I need to and batch is actually kind of flexible.
Also, I don't know what it is with shell programmers (and I've worked for one) but bash syntax is similarly insane. I am so glad I've never had to write an init.d service because 20 years into my linux career I still can't read that shit. Like I can launch and fork a process in like 10 lines of C, but it's five pages of gobbledygook shell script?
