I use WSL because I don't have the option to ditch Windows completely at work.

But here's an example of something that doesn't work well with WSL: having a git repository in Ubuntu (WSL) and reading/modifying it from Sublime Merge on Windows.

I'm forced to rely on the terminal git commands or on VS Code (because it can use a WSL back-end) and it's not ideal to be forced to a couple of options.

With "Works best with Microsoft Linux" stickers, it wouldn't be WSL 2.0 only.

That we already have today, and really WSL is only good enough for me to not bother having VMWare or Virtual Box, as I have been doing since switching back into Windows (during Windows 7 heyday) as main laptop OS.
