I understand why IT administrators like to use PowerShell, but is there a reason why developers should use it daily?
Are there any scripts you run in PowerShell quite often to make your life easier?

PowerShell is an open-source, command-line interface (CLI) based tool that allows developers, IT admins, and DevOps professionals to automate tasks and configurations using code.
PowerShell 5.1 is the last Windows version The core message (pun intended) is that Microsoft will no longer develop Windows PowerShell, which today is included in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft will only provide bug fixes but won't add any new features.
NET 6, PowerShell 7.2 will be a long-term servicing (LTS) release, meaning it will be supported for ~3 years under the terms of . NET 6's support lifecycle. As such, PowerShell 7.0 will go out of support ~3 months after the GA of PowerShell 7.2 (roughly February 2022). This is aligned with .
For everything you were doing via command scripts/batches, you can now use PowerShell and most of the time it will be much easier because of the cmdlets provided.
For example, if you're a SharePoint developer, you'll really like/should use it for your daily development (to replace stsadm, etc.).
Next to that, you can use PowerShell to download podcasts and videos (downloading MIX11 videos as we speak), converting videos, parsing CSV files, ...
Use it in every scenario where you need some quick scripting. I'd take a quick PowerShell script to parse a CSV file over writing a full .NET application to do the same.
