I have a confession to make. I actually enjoy coding in PowerShell more than I enjoy coding in Visual Basic 2008 Express :-).

Lately I've been trying to decide which tool to use primarily for my programming. Although I am a veteran non-professional Visual Basic programmer who loves creating console applications, I can't help but see that PowerShell is more timesaving.

And being a former Command Prompt user makes the change even easier.

I have to second the opinion that "I love PowerShell". It's become in an ingrained part of my development pattern.

I find more and more uses for it on a daily basis. Just the other day I spotted a code defect in our code. Two minutes later I had a PowerShell script searching our code and logging bugs to fix all instances of the issue.

When I have to investigate a bug on a machine that doesn't have PowerShell I feel unbelievably limited.
