Can anybody tell me why exactly it is worth putting energy into MSYS 2 support
I personally think it is a great way to have a package manager with libraries that just work on windows. I need some library pacman -S and the library and all dependencies are there.
I think people nowadays use vcpck or cocoa but the first is a microsoft thing and i am not a big fan about it, and i tested the second when it was still new and it was not really nice to use, so i was stuck with msys2
Do not view it as a unix environment on windows, view it as a package manager. And for this it would be nice to have codeblocks as package there... You want to install codeblocks? Simply run pacman -S codeblocks and everything works...
If it makes sense to port windows project files or use unix project files, that is out of my scope...
