It has improved a lot over the past few months.
There are some minor annoyances, but that is true with OSX too. In some ways, WSL is a more native unix experience, or at least a more native Linux experience.
I made the jump in November and never pick up my MBP anymore.

Well that's rather obvious given OSX is not any more a linux system than Illumos or DragonflyBSD.
- jaxn 9y agoIt is a more-native experience in the sense that for the open source developer, you are using the same binaries as are typically deployed in production. Pretty much no one hosts web applications on OSX, and you still run into the odd library that you have to fiddle with to get running right on OSX. Brew always felt a little hacky to me, or at least not fully part of the OSX ecosystem. So, in that way, WSL has a leg up.
