cmd.exe is largely still concerned with starting processes and hooking them together in much the same vein as Bourne shell, so I tend to use it for that.

(I actually use Yori[0], but it's pretty much to tcsh what cmd.exe is to csh.)

PowerShell leaned a little too hard into the structured data to be useful for me as a command shell. It's a pretty decent competitor to the Python REPL though.
