I like to use ConEmu as my console for WSL. You can also check out Cmder.
It's very rare that I need to do something that WSL can't handle well (any challenges are typically related to I/O, networking, or GPU).
IntelliJ as my main IDE (my primary languages being Java, Typescript/web stuff, and Python).
Sublime Text for quick text editing. Vim in WSL for quick code editing or some other languages (mostly C).
- ThePhysicist 8y agoI second this. You can also install an X server for Windows and run graphical tools like the gnome terminal, which I find superior to the native WSL shell. Be aware that performance of most file operations is much worse than on a native Linux system, which is mostly (in my understanding) due to the differences between NFS and Ext4.
