  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

  • without any doubt visual studio code is dominating the market, and it integrate really well with wsl, but to me it's slow and bloated, so i switched to sublime text and i absolutely love how fast it is, on linux i use vim, but vim kinda seems hard to configure for windows so sublime text do the job

  • - Terminal ( cmder)

  • Chocolatey

    Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

  • Windows does not ship with a package manager, but Microsoft is working on their package manager winget it's looking promising how ever i ended up using scoop, i tried chocolatey but I didn't like their direction, on the other hand i like how clean and organized scoop is and it's similarity to Linux package managers, i like how scoop keeps all my apps on a single folder so it's very easy to separate core windows apps and components from user apps like so :
