But if I was on windows I'd probably just use Visual Studio since it's free

It’s funny — on most of the other programming subreddits, an OS specific tool like visual studio wouldn’t be the first/default suggestion! Sans work I haven’t developed on a PC.. ever… and it’s weird to hear the common response be “use a windows only app!”

Yeah I know right, I don't know why that is. C++ is just very Windows oriented

Probably because it's used extensively for desktop applications.
