James,
You should try IronPython. Its way better than Monad for what you are trying to achieve. It is good enough to kill Monad. Let me know if you want to get started :).

Ravi,

I did - I started using IronPython once Jim put the bits out (I'd been using Jython for quite awhile - I wrote parts of a system at my last company in it and *really* liked it, so IronPython was logically worth checking out to access the .NET api since I hadn't really heard of IKVM at the time). I really like it, but it's still a language first, shell second (at best, IMHO) - I even feel the same about Ruby, as much as I consider irb not to be bad at all.

The deciding factor is Monad's provider API, which I found very approachable. Along with the registry provider (and some others available internally), I now have the TFVC provider which makes it much simpler for me to interact with the TFVC tree in a shell-like manner without the restrictions of tf.exe's text output format, having to write C# apps for every little thing, or trying to click around the Source Control Explorer interface.

It's always about the right tool for the job, of course. If you want to post IronPython equivalents, I'd be happy to see it :)

We already saw how we could use the QueryServerRequests web method to tell the calls that are actively...
