Yes, I know, I was addressing your question and explaining why:

Anyhow, I've written tens of thousands of lines of CScript and PowerShell over the past 15-20 years, give me PowerShell any day of the week for automation and admin tasks. Why anyone would persist with CScript/WSH for sysadmin tasks and automation (unless you're still managing an ancient fleet of Windows 2003/2000/NT) makes my mind boggle.

Also you there's a reasonably useful IDE with ships with PowerShell so you can actually set breakpoints, step through your code and inspect variables (though I prefer to use PowerGUI). That alone is a massive productivity booster.
