> (Posix) shell scripting is just everywhere and is an important skill to have.

Not on Windows.

Which may or not may matter.




Didn't Microsoft team up with Ubuntu to offer this to Windows users?

I'm out of the loop and haven't touched windows seriously in years (other than to fix WiFi or printer issues for family. Sigh), so I probably misunderstood this Ubuntu in Windows completely.


It's through WSL and it's still not native or seamless.

You can't ask a regular Windows user to have it set up as a dependency.

I can't just go "wsl.exe" and have a very clean and seamless integration into Windows and pretend that "wsl.exe" is just another shell like cmd.exe or powershell.exe, WSL is it's own box off in a corner.
