Another example is Exchange where all Admin Center (GUI) operations are calling PS commands underneath. Not everything is in Admin Center so you must use PS eventually. Not to mention that you cannot perform batch tasks without scripting.

I love its Verb-Noun system and verbose parameter names. It’s easy to understand what command or parameter does just by the name. Get-MailboxPermission probably retrieves mailbox permissions, Stop-Process stops process, Remove-ADUser deletes AD user etc. If there would be no auto complete I might find it irritating, but once you get a hang of it, it’s a breeze.

What initial messages?

• March 11 - Journalist receives Signal connection request

• March 15 - He leaves group

Biggest problem is that all of these people that you and me consider assholes do have a huge support. It’s not like a dictator can be a dictator without any support.
