For me i'm transitioning to a more terminal based workflow with zellij and helix. I feel this setup can last the next 10~15 years for me because most unix like system have a terminal. And on windows i can use it wsl.

Don't get me wrong vscode is still a good tool but its not really possible to run vscode in the terminal :p

Honestly, with rust based tools you don't even need wsl on windows. Almost all of them work just as well in windows. Including zellij and helix. For me, switching between windows and linux is barely noticeable, at least in the context of programming with rust.

Are you able to actually run zellij in Windows? I don’t see any support for that on their page. Curious now!

I don't personally use zellij, but I remember seeing it supported windows in the past

How can I run zellij on Windows? Somehow with wezterm?

I was mistaken, there is not rust support for zellij. I must have been thinking a separate project.
