I also "rely on tons of *nix tools for work" but I just run Ubuntu on a VM with a Windows 10 host. Often just run it headless and SSH in.

Is there anything this offers that the new built-in Bash for windows doesn't?

It's an actual Linux install

I set it up last night. It's an Ubuntu install with a Windows mount. There are a lot of limitations with /proc (ifconfig didn't get me anywhere) but apt-get works for mostly everything. Didn't get a lot of time to mess with it but it's interesting.
