It's ok to have an opinion, but there's nothing "bad" about OP's configuration.
"wsl and real linux" is a bit of an odd phrase, do you mean "wsl OR real linux", or are you advocating having two systems instead of one? I run WSL and separate MacOS and Linux systems myself, but I wouldn't pitch it in a post about a "minimal web development setup".

My differing opinion is that "oh-my-zsh" is pointless bloatware because it doesn't really offer much you don't get out the box with zsh (or bash for that matter).

with wsl2 you run a native linux distro of your choice, macport/homebrew is crap compared to it, and learn nvim, osx is just outdated and slows down development only useful if you need it for ios stuff, also you need virtualization as developer else you have no snapshots etc pp, and oh-my-zsh helps a lot with git ..
