This does sound like it will make it a reasonable choice once it's stable. I currently use Git Bash and it integrates pretty nicely.

I typically install it along with git and Git Extensions. It's great when you already know the bash way of doing something, hashing files for example.

Yes, I also use git bash / msys currently and I'm pretty happy with it. But there were a few cases were it caused problems, e.g. the automatic translation of file names caused some headaches for me (in most cases you want it, but e.g. in docker statements you don't want it). Wanted to try whether WSL can even improve that. The old version was unfortunately too limited, but this update sounds very promising and I will test it again.
