We maintain a fork of LTP internally. Eventually we hope to contribute our changes back but unfortunately open sourcing isn't free and we have bigger fish to fry[1].

Re:Do not change Linux files using Windows apps and tools on Thursday November 17, 2016 @05:58PM (#12982565)

I work on WSL.

A) VS code supports WSL in the newer versions of Windows Insider Builds.[1] Support for individual IDEs is now available [2] but will take time for individual IDEs to implement.

B) This is something that we are actively looking at but it is not an easy problem and will take time.[3]

C) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We certainly hope so.
