I do almost all of my development work in WSL since moving off of macOS earlier this year. Works fine for my workflow: ocaml compiler/toolchain, anaconda python, gcc, X11 server on the Windows side for GUI apps, (g)vim, etc. I don’t do any .NET work - just regular Unix development. I bounce to the Windows side to run things that require direct hardware access (eg, CUDA), or running things like Mathematica or OneNote with the stylus.
I miss some things from the Mac: it was the hardware that drove to try new things. I’m growing to like the new environment. I’ve run Linux on my laptops on and off forever (mid-90s onward), and generally get irritated with them for one reason or another and look back at the Mac or Windows alternatives.
