RE: PowerShell Vs C# in Dynamics CRM

Hi

Powershell is mostly used by admins and power users to automate tasks, especially administrative/deployment related

"PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. PowerShell helps system administrators and power-users rapidly automate tasks that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS, and Windows) and processes."

docs.microsoft.com/.../overview

If you are are comfortable using Powershell, and if you do a lot of administrative tasks, then powershell could be your best choice

But if you have not done much Powershell, if you are good at C#, you can do most of what you could do in Powershell in C#.

Since your question does not mention where you are trying to use powershell, I wanted to mention this as well : You cannot use powershel to create plugin or Custom Workflow Activities.
