Yes but what happens when Windows programs try to interact with files in that path?
That's why "Bash on Windows" will likely never be used in a production environment, and personally as a developer I see it as creating more problems than it solves. Because it can't be used in production you're limited to apps that either run in Linux or run in Windows, but not apps that take advantage of both systems.
In the end I mostly just end up using Linux to program apps that won't even run on desktop Windows (do people still develop desktop app for windows and make money doing it?). I do webdev, android, iOS, and some enterprise network applications. I don't even really need the windows desktop.
If MS wants to attract developers they should fix the font rendering.

- satysin 10y agoOh cool you are the guy who made BatteryBar :) I bought that back in 2010 I think, don't use a laptop much these days so not used it in a while. Nice little app though. Just out of personal curiosity but what is BB developed with?
- pjmlp 10y ago> do people still develop desktop app for windows and make money doing it? I have been doing Windows desktop development in the last three years and there are lots of requests for doing so in the enterprise space. More than we can fulfill actually.
