Nice article! Thank you!
I used to do it in a different way. After installing WSL, I created a soft link from www folder to my local project folder via /mnt/d/, what made it possible to work on my local folder without doing any connections. Does your way have any adventages compared to my way?
The differences can be subtle and depend on your toolchains and plugins. Probably the most obvious thing is the VSCode integrated terminal is WSL instead of cmd/pwsh. Running/debugging is also effectively “remoting” into WSL instead of running under Windows.
Basically, if you’re using VSCode as just a text editor they’re likely comparable, but the more it becomes an IDE the more differences there are.
