I really like Linux for dev, but didn't want to be stuck dual-booting (I like Windows for gaming and dual-booting Win/Linux from the same drive comes with some caveats).
What I've found is that a package manager + terminal emulator brings Windows most of the way to being as good as Linux.
While you have a few options for both of those, I personally have settled for Scoop (scoop.sh) + Cmder + Git Bash. Works like a charm and would highly recommend them. You might want to check out Chocolatey as an alternative to Scoop, but I haven't found a better terminal emulator than Cmder.
Just my two cents anyways, use whatever feels comfortable :)

WSL I great, I do not do dual-booting anymore.
