Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it's development related

What's dissapointing about Dev Home is that it offers nothing of value to the average developer, let alone somebody start it.

Given the power of containerization and WSL2, you would expect it could create development environments for a given app, like creating a firmware for a microcontroller using Rust, or a backend using Typescript, and even bring common tools or toolchains. Instead, we get some widgets and that's it.

It's not a dev tool, it's designed to force you to stay with the Windows environment by trying to regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

I don't understand what this means.
