CMD.EXE is fine. I'd rather use bash than the abomination that is PowersHell.
replyLLVM-MinGW sounds external to Microsoft though. I think the blog focused on in-Microsoft solutions. And I am not sure the "contrary to the blog content" is valid - compared to Linux, the Microsoft stack is much more annoying to install. I installed it, but it was annoying to no ends and took ages.
replyGood to know LLVM works on windows too though.

replyNot really. It's just different. As a cross-platform dev, all desktop OSs have their own idiosyncracies that add up to a net of 'they are all equally rather bad'.
MinGW is the most monstrous of monstrosity. Never in a million years touch that garbage.
replyI dunno, it has its uses when porting software written for UNIX-first. Plus, I pointed out Clang, rather than GCC, because Clang is natively a cross-compiler. I don't like to be dogmatic about stuff; if it's useful then it's useful. If it isn't then I will say why (as I explained why there's no need for MSYS2/Cygwin below).
replyUnix-first software on Windows is extremely irritating. Do it right or don’t do it at all. Especially when doing it right is actually super easy. You just have to care.
