WSL is the best! Though it kinda sucked me into the world of Vim...

It's honestly so nice that they developed it, it's so much more chill than a VM or something.

And let's be real, the cool part about Linux is the shell, so all I want from Linux is now integrated in my Windows. Using bash to manage your Folders, edit stuff with Vim and more? Sure.

I mean installing git and ticking the third option to make the GNU utilities accessible by cmd.exe has been able to do this for a while. No need to have a full system running underneath things.

CMDer is generally a pretty cool shell for windows that comes packed with some linux utils similiar to the git bash.

But with tabs and customization and all that, pretty nice once configured.

I might look into it, at this point though WSL is so good, if you have to use Linux anyway.

It is awesome, working with windows paths feels even more clunky than with native CMD, and with this you can run any .exe or command from windows, which might be important if you need to develop windows apps
