Where I’m working, WSL doesn’t work (well), VMs are banned, and personal experience with cygwin is awful (that was on win7, but still). Everything that helps me develop software on windows which runs on linux (of course!) is warmly welcome.

I’m sure there are a thousand similar but different enterprise environments like this. At home / solo dev it makes no sense, you’d just install ubuntu / get a macbook and get working without any fuss.

Docker works but it makes test runs 100x slower (yes, I measured, it’s not made up).
