What is PowerShell?
Built on the .NET Framework, PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language; it is designed specifically for system administrators and power-users, to rapidly automate the administration of multiple operating systems (Linux, MacOS, Unix, and Windows) and the processes related to the applications that run on those operating systems. Windows PowerShell introduces the concept of a cmdlet (pronounced "command-let"), a simple, single-function command-line tool built into the shell. You can use each cmdlet separately, but their power is realized when you use these simple tools in combination to perform complex tasks. Windows PowerShell includes more than one hundred basic core cmdlets, and you can write your own cmdlets and share them with other users.

Warning: PowerShell is powerful!
- Beginners should always start with non-intrusive
commandlets i.e. starting with “Get-”
- The “dangerous” ones start with “Set-”, “Remove-” etc.

Switching to GUI
- Windows Forms a.k.a. Winforms
WinForms is a graphical (GUI) class library included as a part of Microsoft .NET Framework, providing a platform to write rich client applications for desktop, laptop, and tablet PCs. Being a first generation GUI building technology, WinForms UI layout is very simplistic and limited. Controls are placed using distance from the top-left point of a window and their size is explicitly specified. The size of controls can't compensate automatically when resizing windows… etc. (From Wikipedia)
