The GUI is custom. The IDE is Windows-only at the moment, but there's also a command-line compiler for other platforms. VS is required for linking (even when using the LLVM linker).
I'd be interested in more information about the IDE crash.

Better yet, turn it into something that others can use easily by configuring things like the server to which send the reports.
I did this for SumatraPDF (https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/blob/master/s...) and now I think it's a must for writing desktop software that runs on other people's machines.
A shockingly low number of people report crash reports.
I know because I show a message box telling them to submit a bug report for a crash. I get plenty of crashes but no bug reports.
The IDE is maybe one of the nice/important aspects of this project, but then this really should not be Windows-only. Or maybe that are your priorities, but then I would not expect that it gets much adoption outside of the Windows world, but maybe this is ok for you.
