There are a lot of other people saying how amazing it is though, when functionality wise it's only just coming up to par with cygwin.
Edit - functionality wise as a usable bash shell, it's an acceptable linux virtual machine already.
The word has uses outside of the PTSD context though, like gun or database triggers.
Why would them being self-diagnosed matter? Why would you react to it having been “made a mockery of” by reinforcing this supposed mockery? It only makes it worse for people who have to deal with it.
Because the self diagnosis is largely made up by people who don't understand what PTSD even is. It's like someone declaring they have cancer without going to a doctor.

Because it's become part of the lexicon now. I don't think there's any going back. My usage was the "new" usage, no relation to PTSD was intended.
Also, not being able to edit the WSL filesystem from inside a windows editor is a huge loss in terms of usage. It's worse than using Samba/CIFS to share a directory and edit across to a full VM. I happen to like my gui editor, but prefer to run in Linux.
At a guess one of them might be that apparently the Unix things like permissions and Unix-style metadata are stored in NTFS alternate streams (~"resource forks") that they may be worried some Windows programs might not handle quite right (ie, accidentally mangle/remove/destroy).
I'm using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows for Jekyll (because installing and keeping up to date Ruby on Windows is a terrible experience and this is a much nicer alternative). My files are in D:\Repos\..., I'll have VSCode open and Jekyll running in Bash in the equivalent /mnt/d/Repos/...
