Once you get used to developing in a *Nix environment there is just no going back. WSL/WSL2 just isn't there yet. Too much "beta" software for me to rely on it professionally and things just don't work out of the box.
I don't ever see myself going back to Windows.
Other Microsoft products, sure. I prefer Atom but Code is a fantastic editor that has quite literally changed the game in web development. The acquisition of GitHub was incredibly smart. .NET core, etc.
They've made many correct plays over the last 5 years with the dev community - the problem lies in their core product...Windows.
