Apple's similar "Command Line Tools" package is a handy way to get clang & co installed, so that you can still use brew (...and write C) if you don't want Xcode

- nknighthb 13y agoThis is different and somewhat confusing to me. The Command Line Tools are just broken out from a large IDE that isn't necessary to run the results. In this "Microsoft Build Tools" case, they're separating the tools from their runtime support (the .NET framework). You need the framework to run whatever you're building, so it doesn't seem like much is gained by splitting them up.
