Firstly, Emacs is not an alternative to any terminal based text editor, it's an alternative to the terminal based workflow in general.

Secondly, Emacs users can live without the hype, churn and elitism of the vim ecosystem and with a better editor instead.

Microsoft Has WSL, But This Developer Built One for Windows 95 in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Long before WSL there was coLinux. Back when I still dual-booted (i.e. around 2010) I used it extensively to access my Linux filesystems from within Windows, including assembling the mdadm RAID5. It booted in around 10s, much faster than a full VM and had the filesystems available via SMB-share almost as soon as Windows 7 was done lagging after login.
