Powershell ISE comes bundled with Powershell. The editor was useful in previous versions also, but version 4.0 comes with collapsing and expanding of functions and statement blocks. This is very important to have big functions collapsed as it avoids so much scrolling back and forth. Also, it makes script more readable if you are just reviewing someone's code. Syntax highlighting and Intellisense have already been there.
So, those who have not used it for some reasons. I would request them to give a try on this tool. If you do not see it in your newly installed Windows 2008 or 2012, you can try to add it from features.
Remarkable Features:
1. Intellisense feature
2. East of Debugging Code using Breakpoints
3. Collapsing and Expanding of blocks
4. Code and Output windows switching
5. Familiar shortcuts used in all Microsoft products such as F5 etc.
Below are some items which are missing in this version, hope Microsoft will add in future releases :
1. Script parameter passing is not possible.
2. There is no scope of writing GUI based tools.
If you find something interesting about this tool, please let me know.
