Ooh. I find it a bit painful. Stuff like watching for file changes if you mount C:/ don’t work. Adds friction to web dev for sure.

I suggest never access native files, if you are still keeping your code in C:\ somewhere I think you're approaching WSL the wrong way. Go all in and I've never looked back

I'll second this. I treat WSL (2) as a Linux box I'm working on, which I can access via a terminal and \\wsl$ (and VS Code, crucially.)
