Wow, this is a Hyper-V breakout! I am amazed that it's 2024 and we still have problems with basic input validation.

The thing I love about powershell is that you don't have to learn any DSLs, unlike bash, zsh, and the like. Want to manipulate some structured text data? Convert it to a native object, modify it using powershell syntax, and convert it back to the original data format. If you want to do this in bash, you have to learn the syntax and parameters for many utilities like jq, awk, starletxml, and many others. Also, unlike bash, you can use the output of commands like ls directly without worrying that some characters might break your code, as is the case with bash/zsh. You can also easily create whole UI windows in PowerShell and do some other complicated things that are barely possible in bash. Some people complain that cmdlets are too long to write, but you can just write the first letters of each command, e.g. Get-ChildItem -> gci, and it will do the work. Also, everything is much more standardized than in bash, which makes it easier to learn the scripting language.
