There are a lot of small details to know in order to use Windows APIs correctly. Which is stressful. On the other hand, comparing with Unix, the APIs are much much wider and are rarely if ever deprecated. Unix APIs are a couple of syscalls and library functions. If you want to achieve more (like video, audio...) you have to resort to "optional" libraries that may have bad APIs too, but they aren't core Unix and can be replaced by something that is hopefully better.
