If it were not for WSL I would have switched back to a Macbook by now. I took a chance (mostly due to insane Apple pricing) on a Lenovo with WSL over a Macbook and so far WSL and VSCode have been my clutch goto tools for getting stuff done.
I can't wait for WSL 2 to really perfect the workflow. The slow filesystem operations can definitely be annoying at times especially when working in git repositories or with nodejs packages.
I also can't wait for Terminal to be my goto terminal (wsltty is best right now). There are too many rough edges right now but I am hopeful.
The team's communication with the community has been amazing. They are positive and have the open source spirit to them. It's strange to see that from Microsoft given the history, but I really hope that continues.
Hi! What's the issue with just using Windows? For frontend development where you still make use of node modules and stuff like that, how bad can working with Windows be? I'm learning WSL2 right now but I want to know the reason behind people not using Windows for development.
