While it's useful to consider a comparision of CoreUtils to WSL, this is OT
in terms of the original goal of this thread, which was, let's be clear:
a. The user already has WSL and just wants to use it in the Windows CLI
b. The user is constantly getting adb examples which pipe to Linux
For that, I'm surprised there is resistance to an elegant 1-line solution.
But... nonetheless...
Here's a quick summary of what I found comparing WSL to CoreUtils, given I
myself, like most people here, have suffered the CYGWIN-style abominations.
Utilities compiled natively for Windows (like those from GnuWin32 or
individual ports) run as pure Win32 applications. They don't spin up a
Linux kernel layer so startup times are faster and they understand native
Windows file paths (C:\Users\Name) out of the box without needing /mnt/c/
syntax conversion.
That's good.
With WSL, we are crossing the boundary between the Windows NT kernel and
the Linux kernel every time we execute a command. For simple piping tasks,
the overhead is negligible, but path translation can occasionally get
tricky if we randomly mix absolute Windows paths with Linux-native flags.
A quick summary of the two methods for the stated problem set might be:
If we're already in the Windows CLI and we just want to pipe adb to grep,
keeping a brilliantly simple bridge script in the PATH is hard to beat.
However, if anyone can beat the simplicity of a one-line solution, let us
all know as solving the CLI pipe-to-grep problem has always been an issue.
