I've been using WSL2 (can we just call it WSL yet?) heavily lately, and I've noticed that the developer experience is... as much as I hate to admit it, not as good as MacOS or Linux. This article brings up a few good examples. A few more:
1. "windows terminal" defaults to a Windows NT console, you have to open new tabs using a dropdown and choosing your Linux install. You can't use Ctrl-shift-t top open a new tab at all because of this. Annoying.
2. Windows terminal also is slow to open new tabs. This is annoying because...
3. ...If your laptop battery dies during sleep mode, it'll just shut down and close all of your apps.
4. ...Windows updates itself pretty often, again, closing all of your terminals.
5. Another terminal complaint: there's no command-m like in MacOS. So you can't easily clear the scrollback of a terminal while running a command. You need to exit out of the command and type "clear".
