its mostly for people doing work in the WSL world. If you're writing code, you can throw up an IDE running directly inside WSL and run toolchains that exist inside WSL altogether. Before, you'd have to do something like use WSL remote or open the project in a Windows program and edit the Linux file, then use the Windows version runtime of whatever langauge youre using to use any of the built in IDE features for that language.
