Admittedly I didn't watch any of build. I only followed news as I saw it come out and people online discuss it. I'm not sure I know what you consider "real development" but that's not the argument I was trying to make. Linux does snapshotting just fine. LVM, Btrfs, and zfs have no problems taking snapshots. WSL doesn't get any of those features. I'm making the argument that enterprise-grade web apps will not require developers to have Linux (or WSL) to run and test applications in the future. Developers won't have to care exactly how their code is being run to publish a web app. They just want the code running.

Lambda/Functions are mostly for very simplistic tasks. Resizing an image into thumbnails and storing it into S3. Saving the IP address of a request into DynamoDB. That sort of stuff. You can't write enterprise-grade web apps with Lambda/Functions (yet) because they only support native PaaS storage mechanisms (S3, DynamoDB). You can't read/write to a database. You can't make TCP calls to another service. You can't do multithreading. You can't "import" other libraries. You can't do a whole lot that "enterprise grade" web apps will need to do. It's still easier to do PaaS with Azure by developing your code local, debugging it local, then deploying it into a container for the Cloud.
