Powershell is actually powerful. You can write full on WPF grafical user interfaces with it.
If powershell wasn't a Microsoft product I think it could easily outclass any shell currently available. The concept of command output typing is hand down one of the best features of any shell I've tried.
Apples to oranges, powershell is windows exposing most of COM, WMI and .NET object models while improving on the previous options with CScript and VBscript, as those are older than .NET.
Why are we comparing it with UNIX/Linux shells is beyond me.
You say that like it's a bad thing. Having access to all those things by writing a few descriptive words and a great help system (looking at you, linux commands) is awesome.
