you're spot on.
Thanks to covid I want to use my desktop at home, it's windows, I'm not gonna put linux on it (don't feel like it).
WSL allows me to still do modern web development on windows. (fiddler saved my ass with routing to ports).
I've heard WSL has pretty poor adoptation. WSL2 fixed a LOT of things. Docker runs fast, the IO is pretty fast now. Overall it's ok. I stopped doing windows updates cuz they kept breaking my shit. :/
Ultimately, M$ needs to provide an ability for developers to do linux. Every server is linux. They would be insane not to have the ability to code that stuff up on windows.
What annoys me a bit is how much M$ has moved away from its previous model and people don't see it. They're been pumping SO MUCH into the .net core it's ridiculous. They have fully embraced linux because they realize that they wont keep devs by having windows only on Azure.
They've abandoned the platform and they're fully going for service oriented products, and deploying them on everything. (or web).
