Understood and SSH figures heavily into any admin's workflow, but PSRemote brings some advantages when you're using powershell. Much like you can execute remote commands in SSH, I can do that w/ psremote while keeping the full object pipeline intact, whereas ssh just squashes all output to a single text string like most unix-native tooling.

Posh remoting works well because it's posh and you get all the nice object-oriented things that come from that. You do miss features like tunneling so I have SSH to fall back on where needed (and also for non-windows workloads etc). Right tool for the job and all that, and if you're not a heavy posh user the ssh option makes a lot more sense.
