Yeah, I used in my last job (commercial CFD code), and it was widely used by others in our sector. It's nice if you need to support Windows/Linux as well as brings for e.g. MPI, etc. and compiling scietnfic libs like FFTW on Windows is a PITA, so using MKL which comes bundled with it is very easy.

What makes compiling FFTW on Windows so troublesome? That's currently on my to-do list.

Well, most Windows applications you have to actually deploy are compiled with MSVC, and historically most OSS libs don’t use cross platform build scripts, etc.

FFTW these days I think has a CMakeLists.txt file, and Visual Studio well supports CMake now but it didn’t used to.
