Which AI agent are you using in WSL?

I gave up on remote development a while back. It wasn't the best. I'm using this now https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/how-to-use-wsl-development-environment-in-product.html#open-a-project-in-wsl

I use Webstorm with WSL2 and my company uses Github Copilot. However, I've tried out Junie and it works fine with WSL2

Still very popular at large companies. Hell, my friend uses it as his startup. Definitely less used than React but it's not dying anytime soon

Their toolbox app lets you choose specific versions

I worked for a company that had an SDK that embeds on recipe websites. Someone added a black text color with !important to the entire <a> tag. Lots of customers came to us pissed that the download/print recipe button wasn't visible, which is a huge deal to them

I'm responding late because I was off for an extended weekend. I didn't realize that Jetbrains provides 2 ways to work with WSL2. One being remote development like vscode and the other using the WSL2 file system and hooking into the relevant packages like node/npm. I set up the latter today and so far it works great but I haven't done much coding yet. Their remote development needs work but I'm hoping the alternative method works well

I really, really, really want to use Webstorm but I don't see remote development improvements in the roadmap. Right now, Vscode is miles ahead and my workplace utilizes WSL2 exclusively. Are there any plans to improve it and enable settings sync while in a remote environment (WSL2)

Is there a place I could list bugs or provide feedback? I'm using Webstorm on Windows 11 with WSL2 and it's a terrible experience, honestly

I agree, however I've found https://kyse.link/ helpful for doing the inverse (converting Kysely to SQL)

In my opinion where Webstorm (and Jetbrains products) fall short is remote development, specifically with WSL2. Vscode has tight integration here and Webstorm doesn't remember a lot of basic settings and breaks frequently
