You're right of course.

Unfortunately I don't have any choice in the matter of compiler or platforms. I do some work work on Linux and I use GCC there. It feels much more sane.

Visual Studio makes me want to take more blood pressure medication.

This is tier one thinking. Maybe top taking the blood pressure meds and get a little bit more angry and your mindset will change.

Until then, enjoy your MSFT environment that they've created for the lowest common denominator. You try the code-gen / no-code tools yet? Maybe they'll make you happier. Developers, developers, developers!!

you still can invoke msbuild manually. If I really need to test on Windows, most of the time it's a CMake project so I just generate build files for VSCode, go back to whatever editor I like and `cmake --build .` to launch the build job.
