Probably nothing, since they have PowerShell

Unfortunately yup that is there replacement.
Funny thing, the only people really using it are networkers.
Not programmers. Who would have thought?
Even though it is C# like and supports .net libs.
This is not funny even for an Windows admin. Managing Microsoft
Exchange is done 90% from command line, and our mail admin is
complaining constantly for the lack of desktop tools (we even
bought some gui tools for that). Luckily, the last Exchange
version has a nice web interface for administration. Command line
is limited for visual tasks like adding and resizing pictures of
the employees in the address book, for example.
I don't buy this, command line is something obsolete compared to
any gui/web interface, at least in Windows world.
Starting Visual Studio on my machine takes 2 seconds, i don't buy
either the fact it's easier to write your own batch file to
compile code instead of clicking some checkboxes or switching
instantly between Debug/Release versions of your code. And I
don't use dub, last time I checked, it's messing with my AppData
folder. I prefer to press F6 to compile my code.
