" ... will make it easier for some people to develop for Linux on Windows ... "

Same question I have asked many times and still have not gotten an answer. ANY answer!

Why would you develop Linux on Windows? Just why?

What is the benefit?

Write code for Linux on Windows, then test it on a Linux box. Just to return to Windows to fix/modify it. Lather, rinse, repeat? What kind of insanity is that? Even with a VM, how does it make any sense at all?
