I think the majority of webdev tools are pretty tedious to set up on Windows without cygwin etc.

Node is a one click install on Windows, no cygwin required.

True, until you want to build native modules. Then you need Python and parts of Visual Studio

So? If I want to build native modules on Linux or OS X I still need Python and other build tools. It's not fool proof on any OS.

Flask is no problem, Django is child's play to setup.

I feel like that's because someone put a lot of time and effort into making Python's core library play nice on Windows, and Pythonistas tend to interact with the OS/network only through core library functions.

To contrast, Elixir runs on Windows. However, it may be hard to get all your projects up and running due to various baked in concerns where they were written to support Unix-like systems only.

Never had any significant issues with Java stuff, or php for that matter
