Back when Microsoft started showing interest in and contributing to Linux, I knew that they were up to something no good like this. But honestly, anyone who thinks that WSL running inside a very abusive Windows environment is an alternative to true Linux/BSD experience, is frankly clueless. They deserve everything MS subjects them to.
I tried WSL for a week to give it a fair shake. It sucked just horrible all around. The worst part is that it left behind reginfo and other crap I'm too afraid of trying to remove from fear of borking my windows install. Yeah I can reinstall it but I'm lazy.
