> 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.)
