The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
PowerShell Core
Kevin McGregor will introduce PowerShell Core, an open-source and cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.
AGM
Plus, this month's meeting is the MUUG annual general meeting, which includes the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2019-2020 year (by acclamation).
The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.

In plain English what is PowerShell Core's utility?
Re-asking the question by way of parallel, the DOS commands of rename and copy (xcopy) have far superior advantages over Windows in how simply and easily multiple file changes can be made by anyone who takes the small steps of understanding the very basic command structure of either DOS command.
Similarly in non-technical language would someone please translate and give some insight as to what utility PowerShell Core could give to anyone who already is extensively using, say CSV files as a means to link the data from various noncompatible programs?
I ask because I did try and find public sources but the following two are examples of dictionary explanations which circular in nature and truly unhelpful in explaining the power of PowerShell Core.
