I wouldn't say so. PowerToys and WSL are absolutely incredible tools for advanced users.

I understand the powertoys love but what does wsl give you that you don't have with zsh & MacOS?

I run powershell on my Mac because I think pwsh is the bomb but I don't get how wsl gives you anything that isn't there on the Mac already, unless it's a specific Linux wsl distro you greatly prefer.

The mac terminal is nice but i feel like it is missing a lot of the normal userland stuff that Linux typically has. Even power-shell has gotten better over the years but not Mac terminal.

Not the OP but I agree WSL doesn’t offer much over Mac unless you care about GNU vs BSD.
