I guess we have to disagree then.
I included QtCreator, because for the full experience you need the commercial Qt offerings as well.
Windows now has a C++ package manager (vcpkg), so you can install libraries as you want.
Actually Clang provides the necessary IDE hooks that GCC doesn't.
I also consider the UI designers (UWP C++/CX is not that bad), graphical debuggers, pre-compiled headers database, incremental compiler, incremental linker, PGO integration, and being able to drive them without memorizing a ton of switches, part of the whole experience.
