  • Pros

    • Supports C, C++, Fortran, Ada, Java, Pascal, and more | Essential 64-bit support with MinGW-w64 | Actively maintained headers track new APIs | Includes Winpthreads for C++11 threading | Used by big names like Blender and VLC

  • Cons

    • Learning everything can be a challenge | The name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue | Competitors have a more user-friendly experience | Documentation could be better, honestly | Still feels like a toolkit from another era
