Nowadays with WSL Windows is pretty good. Pretty much anything you can do on Linux you can do on Windows.

Now, not being worse is not really a point towards Windows. For developers its absolutely not worth it tanking the horrible storage performance, preinstalled ads and handing your soul to Microsoft for the privilege of not being worse than native Linux.

    I have had major problems, because I am also forced to use WSL. The network situation is the largest problem. Colleagues have had random time differences in WSL causing even TLS to fail, because they were 15 minutes in the past.

    I have had major issues, and I think its only because of WSL and wouldnt happen on native Linux.

    NTFS is by far the worse filesystem commonly used nowadays. Even Apple has a better filesystem.

    When using Windows the thing I miss the most is instant copies. Everyone else has them and they are incredibly handy.

    In fact, with a CoW filesystem Microsoft could even circle around the disaster that is Windows update without needing to remake their entire OS.
