My advice, install Visual Studio (or just the build tools), fire up the developer command prompt for your architecture, then learn the cl (compiler) and ml (the assembler) command line invocations. Many common Unix commands have an equivalent command prompt command you can learn. It just takes some repetition to remember them.
I will be the first to admit, it's very funky. Copy and move have some quirks (use xcopy or robocopy). Batch scripts execute in a really uninituitive way. There are a lot of rough edges but you can develop C and C++ like you would on Linux with a terminal and text editor, it just takes some getting used to.
Edit: I guess they would just not delete the data if there were more references to it.
It is truly amazing how many people will shill for these massive corporations that claim they love open source or that their AI is open while they profit off of the violation of licenses and contribute very little back.
I threw together a Python QT app that parses the show listings, displays them, allows filtering, and has some short cuts for searching IMDB and trailers on Youtube. The best part is that the media opens in VLC instead of some custom player.
Anyway, I will never publish it because of the whole facilitating copyright infringement thing.
