It’s not working any more though, is it. Now they’re trying
desperately to make Windows more Linux-like -- but they can't do it
without an actual Linux kernel in there
<https://www.infoworld.com/article/4188967/making-windows-a-developer-platform-again.html>:

    Much of the Windows developer experience has moved back to the
    command line via Windows’ rearchitected terminal, underscoring the
    need for a consistent experience across the multiple development
    environments running on your PC. The context switch between a
    Linux environment through WSL or in a Visual Studio remote
    terminal and the Windows PowerShell and cmd environment can be
    jarring.

Much of that “jarring” comes from the fact that the whole Windows
environment is inherently unsuited to command-line operation, and
Microsoft can’t seem to do anything about that.
