I was following the development of WSL and got the impression that The people that work on kernel kinda know what they are doing and even listen to requests. The network team takes long to respond but still kinda implements requests. And NTFS is developed by a single person that lives in a wine cellar with a machine gun (as seen by every new file system feature being built in layers above ntfs.) And explorer and other user facing features are done by monkeys on typewriters.
