For work in Windows shop,sure, until I need Docker, although I could with faster I/O!

For home and companies that don't architect themselves around specific workstation OS, Linux all the way. I personally rarely use Wine, if ever, but had to use it for my kids requiring software that was available on Windows only.

I do a lot of varied development, some of it requiring visual studio.

WSL 2 supports Docker now.

Yes, and you need to run the Insiders edition of Windows, which is not a good idea to do on your main computer. Most people will expect until WSL2 is available in the standard Windows version.
