Who is WSL for?
This is primarily a tool for developers ...
-----------------------
One problem with WSL is that the I/O performance is not good and it might
never be solved. So using WSL for production is not what it was ment for.
WSL is called a "compatibility layer". When running WSL there is no Linux
kernel despite "uname" say so. Like WINE, where one can run Windows
binaries on Linux but there is no Windows OS.

That said, WSL is a great tool for developers. Better than Cygwin.
