I started using Linux in 1997. I've been working at Microsoft for a little over 4 years. There are some annoying things about Powershell (verbosity and slow loading of tab completions etc), but in some ways it's vastly superior to bash, as it deals with structured data and not just strings you have to parse, and it has an extremely powerful standard library API (.NET) at your fingertips.
I still love bash and use it as well. But the hate powershell often gets is misguided.
