It's an OS inside an OS, you have to setup everything twice (Windows AND Linux) and file system access times always bites you one way or another (with WSL2 it's the IDE on Windows that suffers from accessing the Linux FS). Because it's in a container, localhost does not get resolved to the Windows host, so if you have stuff that's spread across both OS it's also annoying. Also has weird issues with corporate VPNs. And the other day switching to fish shell as default would just freeze the whole container with no way to debug it, WTF? Unlike a real Linux env, it's a black box, if it starts acting weird your best bet is just to trash and recreate it.

I mean, it works and gives a somewhat decent Linux CLI experience but personally I stick with MSYS2 whenever I can so I have a single env to deal with.
