Visual studio is all what you need, there are few other IDE so everything is available but you need to download and install it, Windows is a consumer OS by default programmers need to do some configuration.

No. There's no good package managers (vcpkg is useless since you can't select a version and there's no separate packages for major versions) so installing anything but the most basic header-only/drag-and-drop libraries is gonna be a huge pain in the ass. Contrast that with GNU/Linux or MacOS where you can painlessly install dependencies using a package manager and the linker will find them. Admittedly Brew is slow as shit and you might have to give the linker a hand for some libraries, but Linux just works for most distros.
