Very powerful scripting language, much less verbose than Powershell. It also replaces basic command line interal commands (dir, copy, ren, etc.) with compatible, but much more powerful versions.
Numerous additional commands, and a far more readable syntax. I find I can bang out a TCC script in about a tenth the time it takes to do a similar Powershell script. There are some things that Powershell can do that TCC can't, and vice versa, but where they overlap, I find TCC is almost always faster.
