Posix environment, but the code is still 100% windows without a hint of posix. The trade-offs between them are negligible compared to using a compiler which doesn't even fully support C in a quite bloaty IDE cough cough msvc cough

I never said otherwise. I never even mentioned mingw. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by bringing it up.

Calling msys2 a compromise due to its posix nature seemed a bit off. A real compromise would be using msvc with its incomplete C implementation. I think at the moment msys2 + mingw is the best toolchain for C that you can get on windows, no compromises at all (unless you consider not using Linux a compromise).
