Way out of touch now Wayne ;)

VS can open CMake projects directly without generator. Also supports
GDB.....MINGW....and even ships with Clang. MS even patched all their VC++
headers to be compatible with Clang.


I haven't tried this yet though, but in theory it should be possible to run
MSYS2/MINGW and debug via this new feature from last year that lets you
configure toolchains and even use gdb:

mingw-and-cygwin-with-visual-cpp-and-open-folder/

In this example it is using MSYS2.
