Because I want more tight coupling with Win32 OS. Im old Cygwin user here. Actually, I cant work on Windows without Cygwin. Its very first thing installed on fresh system so I can bring all my tools with it :)

I have free access to entire FS, I can run Win32 console tools as well inside bash. If I want true Linux environment, I can always spawn VM and use Xserver on Win32 to work on it (Xming).

You can have access to the entire fs (/mnt/c) and run exe files with WSL too

Probably WSL1.. Yeah.. But why should I bother with it if Cygwin does the work just fine? :)

Works in WSL2 - thanks to Plan 9’s 9P protocol
