It's been a while since I've checked it out--how does it fare compared to, say, MobaXTerm? Are there advantages to using it for WSL work?

For all my use cases it has replaced MobaXTerm. I'll fire Moba up once in a while when I need to pop something up in X windows, but that's a rarity.

Between the new terminal and MS Code's ability to edit code remotely my whole tool chain has changed. I turned in my MBP at work for a windows laptop and haven't looked back since.

I'm interested in this question as well. MobaXTerm X11 integration seems pretty smooth, and the GUI sftp (?) client is also pretty nice. And I guess the ssh tunnel interface is kind of nice.

What would the best equivalents be under WSL 2?

X11 is key here. It runs silently without having to be installed or managed separately. Is there any better implementation?
