I must disagree with the C/C++ take. Visual Studio is still, for me, one of the best IDEs out there, and the single best one for C/C++ development. And for the longest time, Windows indeed didn't have a good package manager, but over the past few years we've had vcpkg, which fills the vacuum pretty well when it comes to getting libraries without much hassle.

I still did not have good experience with vcpkg, but, admittedly, I don't do a lot of C++.

How do you configure compiler to use libraries downloaded from vcpkg? CMake? Something else?
