Microsoft's idea of developer friendliness is always aimed at high-level. Windows is developer friendly as long as you use their tools/languages. Developers want to choose their own tools, so they should make that easier / more integrated.

I'm not a Windows developer, but I'm fairly certain there are options of tools/languages for Windows development that are not offered directly from Microsoft. Again, are we talking about developing applications to run on Windows or developing on the core?
