I have tried using it for the past couple of weeks, and had to fiddle a lot for the first week or so to get it working nicely. The package state is stuck at 14.04 but you can upgrade[0] to 16.04 with dirty[1] trick. After the initial setup, Windows Bash worked just fine for my Rust / Go / Python needs.

What would you mainly use the bash environment for ?

You can install 16.04 now, but you have to blow away your Linux install to do so https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/10/19/wsl-...
