I think WSL is great. I use it almost exclusively for development.
I don't use win terminal, I use Cmder (ConEmu) instead. It's handy in so many ways. For example, you can paste a win path C:\my\folder and it gets converted automatically to Linux format /c/my/folder. By all means, try it out.
VSCode integrates with it perfectly.
Very, very important is that Docker works seamlessly in WSL2.
I'm a Senior Developer and Co-host of Friday Night Deploys Podcast. I'm also a dad that likes to play video games and lift, always failing to keep it real with the kidz.
I used to use Cmder before WSL way back. I remember it definitely did the trick and had a ton of customization options, my favorite being Quake Mode just for the giggles.
I haven't needed to mess with Docker yet, but I always remember that being a huge pain in the arse with windows so good to hear!
