For me, I switched over to Powershell Core, and as far as I'm concerned, it's way more productive for building situated software than the same gaggle of scripts that one gets with bash, in most cases.

param statements get you auto-complete, and docs. Powershell can just ingest and deal with JSON, and are one module away from doing the same with YAML.

Using % and ? (aliases for 'Foreach-Object' and 'Where-Object') ends up working very well for most data manipulations that one might be interested in.

It definitely has it's quirks as a language, but so does literally every shell in remotely common use.

And I'd say that Powershell is appropriate for non-trivial scripting use, as long as you familiarize yourself with the conventions for handing data to/from functions vs pipelines.

I've written more than one piece of above ad-hoc software in Powershell, though this is the only one I have in public: https://github.com/yumaikas/psi.
