LLVM-MinGW sounds external to Microsoft though. I think the blog focused on in-Microsoft solutions. And I am not sure the "contrary to the blog content" is valid - compared to Linux, the Microsoft stack is much more annoying to install. I installed it, but it was annoying to no ends and took ages.

Good to know LLVM works on windows too though.

Not really. It's just different. As a cross-platform dev, all desktop OSs have their own idiosyncracies that add up to a net of 'they are all equally rather bad'.
