Same problem with PHP development, anyone trying to develop on windows for any real world framework will have epic IO lags, sometimes crashes with composer (equivalent to npm) and ALSO during execution time. Is this composer/PHP/Symfony-Laravel-whatever's fault ? Is it the caching lib fault ?

I work on linux, but try to onboard windows dev frequently ("windows dev", ikr ;) . The experience is always painful, and despite many efforts from the WSL team to move forward, docker for development on Windows is still barely usable right now ...
