>> It's a gross hack

*taps on the name of this site*

If I'm writing some cross-platform bit of software, my interest in supporting Windows is naturally in producing binaries that run on Windows.

Why on earth should I give a flying toss how "almost all Windows software is developed", or which kinds of ABIs are BillG-kissed and approved? Good god. Talk about fetishising process over outcome.

I just eyerolled so hard I gave myself a migraine.

If your focus is on outcome that I promise and assure you that using MinGW will make producing a positive outcome significantly harder and more frustrating.

With modern Clang there really isn’t a justifiable reason to use MinGW.
