I 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.
