I promise you the value add of WSL is nowhere near the value of a pure linux/unix system, especially for developers. This is just yet another iteration of Microsoft's embrace/extend/extinguish pipeline.

Not this tired trope again.

Azure makes a lot of money off Linux, and Microsoft has been a pretty good open source participant the last several years. But it's still a business.

WSL seems to be a way to prevent developers from abandoning Windows altogether and to make it more comparable to what a Mac offers (a Unix with a polished GUI).

Quite frankly, I prefer Gnome to Windows, but I can be happy with a Mac too.

Microsoft trying to make Linux more accessible to it's HUGE professional community of programmers that are content with their OS driver but want/need accessible Linux access. The company has a decades-long track record of positive contributions to the programming community.
