I did exactly this last summer, and have been quite happy with the decision. (context: my dev work is all about elixir/erlang, some python, and some haskell). So far I've had very little trouble with WSL, but its performance is certainly worse than running on windows directly, or on macOs, but for dev purposes it's adequate, and it sounds like that part is about to be solved for me anyway.

My thinking is mainly that while windows is still a little behind MacOS for some things, it's headed in the right direction, and MacOS is heading the other way. The hardware is superior in almost every way to what I was looking at in a MBP (my windows machine is a SB2), only complaints are about the location of the headphone jack, and the fact that the rubber "feet" on the bottom of the laptop have come unglued, which does kinda suck.
