I understand why Windows users like MSVC now.

It's the only good(ish) option with a standard library included, that doesn't require a degree in rocket science to set up.

MSYS2 packages and CMake projects are a pain in the fucking ass on Windows. I have no idea where to point my dependencies at. I can't compile liballeg from source as easily as I can on Linux natively.

IDK how you guys tolerate writing C on Windows. Your only two options are a toolchain that is unpredictable and another toolchain that tries--and fails--to be like Arch.
