I've been using WSL pretty much since it came out. Working in a pretty much fully MS infrastructure it's allowed me to carry out dev tasks I would normally need a separate VM for.

That said, there were a lot of 'workarounds' needed to get things like Docker working satisfactorily.

I recently moved to the Insiders build of W10 so I could try out WSL2 and the Windows Terminal. Using Docker with WSL2 is so much better and makes everything so much more seamless.

In all I'd say it's a good thing, but I can understand peoples reservations with it.
