This is why in hindsight it was a bad idea for Microsoft to never been serious about POSIX subsystem on the Windows NT linage.
That is why I even bothered with GNU/Linux to start with.
OS X adoption by UNIX crowd proved the point that for a large majority of development community, GNU/Linux itself is irrelevant, what they care about is a POSIX like experience.
Hence Microsoft learning by their Windows NT/POSIX management mistakes, and creating WSL to fill that gap.
For those of us running Virtual Box and VMWare for years, it only brings the convinience of one product less to care about.
