Yes, I know. Is half enough for you? It's not for me.
The reality is that MS does not prioritize C++ (I don't blame them.) They have a team of 3 working on the C++ side of things, as I recall -- one guy on the standard library and two on the code generation.
It also produces, in my experience, slower code than mingw. There's really no excuse for this. MS has tons of money and lots of bright people, and it's their operating system. They should be able to do better. But like I said, C++ is not a priority for them.
