Pros
Pro Better than ParrotOS, BackBox for hacking purpose
Contains too many tools for hacking. Those tools are not already included in BackBox or ParrotOS.
Pro Standard pentest tool set
Pro Live session distro used for forensics
Pro Official Microsoft product
Pro Is an *actual* terminal emulator--what a Linux user would expect--like xterm
Not a command prompt/processor (i.e. shell) but a host for such applications.
Pro Multiple shell support
Pro Open Source under the MIT License
Pro Easy and well documented JSON settings
Pro Microsoft is nailing on its features
Cons
Con Not intended to be a daily driver
This distro was written for pen testing and security work. It is not meant to be a day-to-day OS (unless that's your job).
Con Very old packages
E.G. Firefox's current version is 61 but Kali linux consists of its 52th version. Though kernel is not that old.
Con Requires latest version of Windows 10
Con Cannot have a mix of elevated and non elevated tabs
Con Unstable and buggy
Sometimes freezes and/or crashes.
Con Configured via (mostly) documented json
Con Slow
Con Doesn't have feature "Open Context Menu"
Poorly, this perfect terminal doesn't has this feature for Windows version.
