Windows Terminal (despite the drama with its devs) is actually pretty good.

PowerShell is excellent as a scripting language, and has deservedly been a huge influence on shells which have come after it.

WSL is extremely frustrating because it has so many bugs and gotchas, but I'd say it's pretty popular with its intended audience.

I understand why WSL2 is now just a HyperV'd Linux, but WSL1 is amazing despite its limitations. I'm honestly hoping that they re-consider deploying a properly-developed Unix personality again, but that ship has sailed.

Agreed. WSL1 was incredibly ambitious, and that alone made it exciting. And what it does manage to do, even in its unfinished state, is also impressive in its own right.

(FWIW, I actually had WSL2 in mind when I was talking about bugs. Switching to a VM-based approach solved some compatibility issues but WSL2 definitely still has problem.)

I was asked to be a developer on powershell when it was still unreleased. Regret does not begin to cover it.
