I used to struggle with it too, until some time ago I think it all kind of clicked in place.

Don't try and think of it as similar to other shells like bash, but as an interactive console for objects. The operators, flow mechanisms and semantics make a lot of sense from that perspective, at least to me.

I've found that in that capacity, and as soon as I grokked the object pipeline, it's a wonderful tool with access to the entire .net ecosystem and a really hard push from Microsoft to have support for it on most of their tools

I've been automating several procedures with it and it's been working great.

That said, I also have some (iron)python scripts for some other tasks that don't involve as much glue between applications and services.
