microsoft: ill just put linux in the windows
Imagine no WSL, no nothing. The only way to use Bash/Zsh is to use either a full blown VM or switch to Linux. All coders would 100% move to Linux, except that code in C++++.
I am probably going to get downvoted to hell for this, but powershell is pretty good.
You can write a whole project in powershell with proper intellisense. I think microsoft also sprinkled some f# type provider magic in it, so the programming experience is rather nice.
imagine writing complex logic in bash, zsh or even fish.
Even as the world's biggest Microsoft hater I can admit that Powershell is pretty slick.
The bad doesn't always negate the good. Take birth control for instance. It was developed in a highly unethical way (tested on a large population in Puerto Rico without their knowledge or consent IIRC). That was a bad thing, but birth control by itself is a good thing that improves people's lives.
Pretty good by Windows standards, but it's awful and too verbose and ugly by UNIX standards.
There are a lot of Bash wrappers for a lot of programs or the programs themselves are written in Bash. Maybe complex logic in Bash wouldn't look pretty, but it is much easier than POSIX shell. And there is a LSP server for shellscript. If a custom command is present on the host, then the server will also see it and you can autocomplete it.
Some things are easier done with shell than python, so it all depends.
I just develop in a VM that I SSH into from windows. No need for anything beyond the initial use of a windows terminal
