Depends on what you mean with tooling I guess. CLang on windows is fine these days, so is msys. So, with possibly some quirks, that unix tooling runs on windows as well so it cannot be vastly worse tooling if it's the same.
Still, talking IDEs and visual debugging which you might or might not consider a part of tooling, unfortunately VS still runs circles around the free competition. So much that I'm betting teams are willing to give up some standard compliance in favour of using it.

And Microsoft is well aware of that, they made jumps and leaps recently to bring their level of C++ compiler support to the actual standard level, finally you can say MSVC actually understands standard C++.
