I've programmed in some capacity for a long time. I never got into MS programming, except when I was a kid with DOS and some BASICs (gwbasic, mostly).

The reason I've stayed away from MS is that it's always felt inelegant to me. Not only are the systems clunky but the code just looks so ugly to me.

AnExtremelyLongFunctionNameThatWrapsTwiceOnTheScreen(MsI.BillGates.IncrementValueOnlyIfNotInWindows95).

It is not an elegant system by any stretch of the imagination. Same goes for Powershell.
