Yep.

With WSL I can seamlessly access files from both Linux and Windows. I use the Terminal (Windows) and various Unix tools for a lot of stuff (compiling & testing on Posix, objdump, debugging). And I use Windows GUI tools for editing (Sublime), diffing (BeyondCompare), and so on. I get the best of both worlds.

But WSL2 file access in `/mnt/c/` is now unbearably slow. So I just stick with WSL1.

From what I've read, Microsoft intends to support both WSL1 and WSL2 for the foreseeable future. So that's good.
