PowerSE does all the tricks you would expect from a script editor, like color syntax highlighting, deep IntelliSense (PowerShell, WMI, and .NET), tab complete, snipets, and the ability to edit multiple scripts at one time, but PowerSE does so much more. 

PowerSE is more than a simple editor, it’s a complete development environment (IDE).  PowerSE makes debugging PowerShell a snap with features like breakpoints, call stack, and a watch window.

IT Administrators will be pleased that in addition to just being an editor, it helps them accomplish daily tasks. 

PowerSE includes an embedded PowerShell console that lets you do virtually anything you could do with the native PowerShell console.  This means no more flipping back and forth between your editor and command line; PowerSE lets you have both up at the same time or maximize either with a simple touch of the mouse.

In addition, your PowerShell command History is stored in a buffer, providing a type of Record/Playback capability.  Simply interact with the console window to determine exactly what task you wish to perform, then, with a push of a button copy these commands to a script file for future use.

Wait there is more! The output of all your commands is provided in both text output, and as a data grid.  This allows you to visualize your environment quickly, simply rearranging the columns, removing unwanted data columns, and sorting.  Then tell PowerSE to generate the PowerShell Script and you have created a nice report in minutes.  In addition, a property grid allows you to drill down into data structures and generate the PowerShell script to retrieve the data you wanted.

Finally, no IDE would be complete without code examples.  PowerSE provides the ability to search the PowerShell Community for just the right example to get you up and running quickly.  Both PoshCode and TechNet Scripting repositories are supported.

And to think, you get all of this for free.
