I'm kinda impressed with powershell: despite it's extreme verbosity, it has a very, very strong tab-complete.I was writing a powershell script for a friend today, despite not knowing powershell, and I was interested to see that options to commands could be tab-completed, and that even arguments to commands can be tab-completed.[/blogpost]Interestingly enough, Microsoft has open-sourced powershell under the MIT licence, and apparently it works on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.

Does it have documentation like unix shell do?Yeah, Get-Help, but it's really shit.For example: to learn how to do shell scripting, you can doman shbut for powershell, each fucking word in the language has its own pageGet-Help about_ForGet-Help about_WhileAnd there's no summary or tutorial page to give you the big picture.
