Thanks for your comments, @jeliasson, and @Tobbe. Indeed Tobbe summarized my understanding of the problem @thedavid asked me to solve:
Let me make this even clearer: the document Windows Dev and Setup: Recommendations and Best Practices is intended for Redwood customers who either like or have to use the Windows platform. For them, it makes little sense to use kludges like git-bash, or any of the 5 Ways to Run Linux Software on Windows, just so they can use some of their favorite Linux development tools.
In my view (which I am expressing via this document) Redwood application development on the Windows platform is best supported by using VSCode for everything because Redwood’s future enhancements are all envisioned in the form of VSCode extensions, and our primary goal here is to ensure that.
If my understanding of @thedavid’s task for me is incorrect, I am sure he will let me know that. Until then, discussing my writings is a helpful, friendly exchange of opinions - exactly what this forum is created for.
