title: emacs powershell versus powershell-mode
body: <p>I would like to use PowerShell inside my emacs, and I am interested in my options. Trying <code>M-x package-install RET powershell TAB</code> shows two options: <code>powershell</code> and <code>powershell-mode</code>. How do these packages compare? How do they compare to <code>powershell.el</code>?</p>
  
  <p>The following resources were very helpful, but they do not answer my question:
