W/r/t the OP, I have trouble thinking that the Linux Subsystem is as full a solution as it's made out to be, but on-topic discussion isn't not what comments thread brawls are for!
I'm consistently amazed that the response is always that "Windows sucks" even as it's gotten better than the 95/XP/Vista experience. It's 2017, .NET runs on Linux now and VS runs on macOS, can't we all just get along? Of course, that sentiment exists for good reason even as Microsoft improves its product offerings. Every stable Windows install is just one third-party enterprise shitware deployment from automating BSOD reboots.
Tooling aside--VS is great if you add "finally" and "for some tasks" and if Powershell ever reaches a finished state that'd be good, but I still don't use either--regardless of how slap-dash and inconsistent Windows (lol X11) can be, the part of Windows that sucks the most is working at companies that require its use. If you haven't worked somewhere where people aspire to be "Sharepoint Administrators", where people "fix" prod data in Access and where >25% of your CPU cycles go to black-box antivirus vendor apps that had unpatched CVEs discovered in the past month, you really should so you can remember why you left.
