The only thing I like about it is it's object oriented nature. That everything is an object ( PSObject ) that can be piped is very nice.

However, the shell itself is slow, ugly and cumbersome. I just don't understand why windows can't create a shell like bash. The old cmd shell was horrible. PowerShell is a step up but it's still lightyears behind all the terminals we have in linux/bsd/etc.

It's verbose if you don't use the aliases. But I don't mind the verbosity as you can understand the command just from the name.

I like the idea of powershell ( OO, Verb-Noun commands, etc ). But the execution has been disappointing.
