Most apps for dev work actually work; - RStudio - VS Code - WSL2 - Fusion 360 - Docker

Only major exception is: - Android Studio's Emulator (although, the IDE does work)

Yeah, I too was surprised to find the dev experience very good: all JetBrains IDEs work well, Visual Studio appears to work fine, and most language toolchains seem well supported.

JetBrains stuff (love it!) is built on Java, so I’m not terribly surprised. I don’t know how much native code there is though.

Plus they’ve been through the Apple Silicon change, so it’s not the first time they’ve been on non-x86 either.
