For WSL to be perfect (for me), it would also have to have better integration with the native filesystem. This whole business where the WSL filesystem is a separate thing, hidden away in the user's AppData folder, that you can't write to using Windows tools, is a significant drawback. I dunno, I guess I don't quite get who WSL is supposed to be for. The author of this article presents it as an alternative to running Linux in a VM. Which, OK, maybe that's exactly what it's intended to be. But I still wish that MS would include something like Hamilton C Shell as a built-in part of Windows. I.e. a unixy shell that provides unixy tools, and the ability to compose them, but where the tools are designed to mesh well with the rest of Windows.
