Used VS since 2001. Then started developing on Linux and Mac, which I prefer. But here you don't need the full VS installation, only the build tools and Windows 10 SDK, and apparently it can be installed by a script. It's a non issue. Otherwise use WSL then you won't need VS https://crystal-lang.org/install/on_wsl/ https://crystal-lang.org/install/on_wsl/

the fact that you're even suggesting WSL shows how out of touch you are with current Windows development.

  It's an option on Windows that avoids Visual Studio. If you don't like it then don't use it.
