Isn't WSL2 a step backwards from WSL? A thinly veiled VM, vs. proper Linux emula...

The interoperability is good except few applications.

File performance is similar to native as long as you store the files in WSL2.

Only issue, I have faced is that port forwarding does not work sometimes and have to restart WSL2 for fix which I solved using a simple script.

Other than that everything has been a smooth sail. Native docker is a huge win in my list.

The randomly assigned ip every reboot is extremely annoying.

I use localhost for accessing stuff inside and outside the WSL2 and it works fine for me.

I never used the private ip. So, I can't say anything.
