I love it, personally. I installed it and VcXsrv and put a link to 'bash.exe -c "DISPLAY=:0 xfce4-terminal"' on the panel. gVim on Linux works great for code editing.

Yes. It is great. Issues are handle very nicely via their github Repo so you dont feel left out while using it. It's currently in Beta but most of the things that I use (python3 ,pip, npm...) work like a charm

I do. Support is definitely there for me but I mostly do Ruby/javascript. YMMV.
