When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

It is not meant just for powershell; it combines all the shells on windows plus support of fit, bash/zsh in WSL.

I use Linux daily for development and a MacBook for a laptop; having to go from extensive terminals back to shitty blue windows was painful.

The new Terminal has been the best addition MS has added to windows in a long while.
