Are you on insider preview? They make a good progress. For example now you can have Ubuntu 16.04 and be able to call windows executables from bash.
In my opinion it is now much better experience than macOS offers
I use Ubuntu in production and having the same tools on the dev machine natively is great. When I was using macOS it was a bit clumsy to get tools set up. I find apt superior to brew also compiling from source etc is less of a headache.
Windows really nailed that department.
Does bash on windows solve this issue for you or do you want the entire terminal to be nix like (instead of the command prompt)
