Also, please note that if one searches for Ubuntu app in Cortana, it is called "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" without any dash:

Consistency would also be great in this respect too!

We explicitly ask the WSL distribution for its name. This is an upstream issue on Canonical.

Well, this difference in style is confusing (all other names use spaces for word separation). If the team considers this is okay - so be it. I just wanted to have it in issues in case other users want to search for this.

Also the minor margin between the context menu and the "v" button is not very common on Windows. And also when clicking on "v", both "v" and "+" get focus - strange.

Alright, let's not make this too big of a bucket issue for a bunch of UI complaints 😄
We're following the windows xaml SplitButton style here: all Xaml split buttons do this!

Would you like me to file a separate issue about the space between buttons and context menu?

Looking at it more, the menu spacing also seems consistent with other Xaml apps:

1.x item: we may want to reopen the book on being able to use resource names as profile names; otherwise, we would have to figure out how to localize profile names (since Command Prompt is different in different languages, but cmd is not)

If one wanted to keep cmd in the name, you could have default name as "Command Prompt (cmd.exe)" and keep that suffix regardless of localization

Meh, I'm not particularly bothered by the loss of "cmd.exe"

If localization is on, the user is doomed in any case: "PowerShell", "Ubuntu-18.04", "Командная строка" :)

PowerShell, Windows, and Ubuntu are product names and aren't generally localized. Your argument was that command prompt usually is 😄 and on Windows it's not localized with "cmd.exe" at the end.

It is a well-known everywhere-existing shell. It would be nice if it is named consistently.
