The way things have been going is promising but the WSL is still too far away from being able to be considered as a place where full-time development happens. For example a true tiling window manager like i3 gives me tremendous productivity boost, which WSL can in no way deliver.
I appreciate that when I have to use Windows (e.g. for some apps that just don't work on Linux) I can still take advantage of a true Linux system's power. But that's about as far as it goes. Claiming it to be a "dev machine" is still quite an exaggeration. I'll see how it goes in a few years. Hope Microsoft and Canonical can keep up the work, for sure.
