Several articles I've read agree. They all give me the impression that using one OS's tools to modify the other's files tend not to end well.
Speaking of said articles, I asked this question here because (a) I knew the answers would range from helpful to classic CP buffoonery, and (b) asking it on Google and Duck*2Go resulted in everyone and their sister's blog on how to install it and run a few bash commands, but precious little on what to actually do with it once you've got it.

Well, if they had implemented the USB syscalls, we could have used it to develop for android but since they didn't then adb can't talk to any android devices for debugging. Makes Bash/Ubuntu on Windows mostly a silly toy.

Although I have not tried it yet on win 10, I've used windows text editors on unix and linux for years, with no problems at all. You just need to use wordpad instead of notepad (it happily will use just the single byte newline, unlike notepad which uses CRLF), and save directly to the *nix machine to preserve the permissions, all one byte of them.

"[D]umb as a stump," may be apropos, but it was easier than trying to remember all the arcane keystrokes, then losing the file by quiting without having saved it. I have always maintained that vi was someone's revenge on the world.

Where does VM/dual boot come into play with bash? bash implementations for Windows are available as components of several different packages.
(And: does a [lamp stack] require a specific OS?)

Pardon me for my sin of ommission. I should have said "VM/dual boot/Cygwin/any other bash-on-Windows implementation I've never heard of or looked for."

Well, considering the 'L' in LAMP stands for Linux ...

As per my experience, git clone works far better on BASH for Win10 than on actually Windows.
Also you must keep in mind that Win10 has file path lenght limit, so actually cloning some repositories will keep them intact.
Last but not least, this is more about looking into the future.
For example, today, to run Docker for Windows, you need a full Linux installation inside Hyper-V. In the future, in an inception like scenario, you might for go Hyper V completely, and run Docker using pure Windows Containers, some pure Windows and some others hybrid, using the USL. Since the USL will be feature complete in 2 years time, you could run any container possible, even non Ubuntu ones. 
I am the one who knocks...

Maybe get a decent install of Clang or gcc on Windows for once? Both mingw and cygwin have versions of gcc and its supporting libs that are not completely compatible with the *nix versions.
Haven't tried yet, to be honest. I need Win 10 on a machine first.

All of them.
Diner: "Hi, I'd like to not order all of your chickens."
Waiter: "Wait, what?"
Diner: "Please don't bring me ALL of your chickens"
Waiter: "Uh, is this some kind of prank?"
Diner: "It absolutely isn't quite true that it may not be not a prank."
Waiter: "Get out."

So if I want 1 to 5 chickens I have to order the 6?
|
|

Yo can not order 1 to 5...

Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I can not order whatever I want.

Just order the 6 and ask them to put in how many you want between 1 and 5. You'd still pay the price for 6 pieces though but most fast food places would be happy to oblige.

Any number - I don't go to fast food chicken restaurants.

Bugger!
Getting my primes mixed up.
It's 43.
So chickens are the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything + 1

n + 1
where n = the total number of chickens available at the restaurant.

Without specifying whether the purchaser may (or has to) order one package, or more than one of each package, and other details, I think there is no real question here to begin with.
Otherwise the largest available quantity is always: "gimme all ya got." And, asking for more than they "got" is nonsensical.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal
