WMIC allows an amazing amount of control for admins that know what they are doing. One of my favorite uses was back when I worked helpdesk, users would exit Lync and be unreachable, well WMIC can allow an admin to open that app back up in the users session and then they are suddenly reachable again.
Some people use the old psexec, others have been using WMIC since before powershell even existed.
I don’t code either but prefer the Gitea instance in my basement over anything MS hosts.
