I'm pretty impressed with WSL. I've just moved back to Windows (Dell XPS) after ~13 years using Mac OS, and in many ways WSL is nicer than what I used to do before with juggling Homebrew packages and Parallels VMs depending on the demands of a particular task. Between that, PowerShell, and installing stuff via Chocolatey, I feel right at home.

But without things like WSL and native OpenSSH, I doubt I would even have looked; I would have stuck with MacOS forever or just gone native Ubuntu.
