A huge chunk of scientific and numerical libraries rely on Fortran, for which 64-bit support is seriously lacking on Windows.

Doing this work is significantly easier out-of-the-box on Mac/Linux device.

Data Science is my main job and the first thing I did at my last job was ask if I could wipe windows and put Linux on the desktop they gave me.

How so? mingw-64 exists, and so does Intel Fortran (with good integration with the VS IDE as well).

Intel and PGI Fortran work just fine on Windows, with VS integration as pointed by others already.
