WSL's main performance issue is related to file io. Something like 'git status' is much slower than native performance. Expect 'npm install' to be much slower than if you were on Mac OS or native Linux.

npm install is already slow per se :-(

Further to this, WSL does not always work correctly, e.g. I've had problems with multiplexed SSH connections and agent forwarding. Expect to have to downgrade binaries manually.

It's like ending up with a worse linux on top of Windows.

My brain is currently moonwalking out of that place :D
