MinGW64's latest upgrade seems to have broken a bunch of things, including MinGW64 itself. It's recoverable, but the prebuilt webkitgtk package got obsoleted as well. I've got a rebuild running, should be done by tomorrow morning California time.
In the meantime, open Task Manager and check the details tab for instances of pacman. Kill any that you find. Try opening an MSYS2 terminal; if it crashes immediately go back to Task Manager and look for more pacman instances and kill any you find. It took me 3 iterations yesterday but only one today on a different VM.
Once you have an MSYS2 terminal that stays open run `pacman -Syuu` until it says there's nothing to update.
Keep an eye on the gnucash-on-windows repo, watching for my next update with the new webkitgtk package. When that's in you can download and run the new setup-mingw64.ps1 after which you should be able to build GnuCash... though Geert had trouble yesterday with getting Guile to build.
The answer to your first question is not much. Mike Alexander, Jean Laroche, and I use MacOS, everyone else uses Linux. We use the MinGW64 environment for testing when we've touched something that might not work right on Windows, reproducing bugs, and for building the Windows AIO packages. You'd have to be a confirmed Masochist to want to develop mainly in MinGW.
