About PowerShell
PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), and accepts and returns .NET objects. This fundamental change brings entirely new tools and methods for automation. Unlike traditional command-line interfaces, PowerShell cmdlets are designed to deal with objects. An object is structured information that is more than just the string of characters appearing on the screen. Command output always carries extra information that you can use if you need it. If you've used text-processing tools to process data in the past, you'll find that they behave differently when used in PowerShell. In most cases, you don't need text-processing tools to extract specific information. You directly access portions of the data using standard PowerShell object syntax.

"A great command-line shell, now cross-platform!" Posted 2022-07-23
Pros: - excellent built-in shell utilities (pipes for chaining commands, in-console help system, built in theming)
- easy extensibility through functions, classes, scripts and modules
- built in JSON support
- open-source and freeCons: - PS scripting language can be a bit obtuse and uses different syntax than other languages (for example, -eq instead of ==)
Overall: Overall PowerShell is a fantastic command-line shell that has served the windows community for many years. Now that it's available on all platforms, people can make use of its extensible feature set everywhere.
