Maybe one reason one might prefer using Clang over MSVC is that it's open source and it runs on all major platforms so you're hopefully less likely to run into issues. Although I admit I'm just taking a guess, since I'm only a casual Windows user. I write many simple scripts with node just because it works everywhere with minimal quirks. I also have a few incredibly simple web apps which I use to visualize or explore small datasets. It's great to able to open up an html file in the browser and have it work everywhere. Docker containers aren't an ideal solution, but they make it easier to get things running everywhere. Consider why stuff like Electron is so popular, despite its many quirks.
