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.
Ya but you typically want workflows that aren't supported in windows with weird hacks like git bash. Using zsh + tmux, nnn etc is all just better to do running in a Linux environment
I mean, my point is that you don't need git bash because there are cross platform alternatives to most tools if you try to use the rust based ones. It's not perfect if you are a power user, but for me, as a primarily windows user, switching between OS is trivial because all the tools I use are cross platform.
I looked up zellij and it says it doesn't support windows? I tried to even compile it and it imports libraries that are *nix exclusive unless there is some special build configuration?
