WSL1 felt like a useful compatibility layer for running some Linux applications in Windows. It had plenty of warts, but it quickly became my preferred command shell for Windows.

WSL2 is more capable, but it's not Windows anymore. I might as well run a proper Linux VM or dual boot. Better yet, I'd rather run a Windows VM in a bare metal Linux OS. Why even bother with WSL2? What's the value add?
