Someone could argue about debugging. raylib is a library intended for learning and I think C it's a clear enough language
to allow writing small-mid size programs with a printf-based debugging. All raylib examples have also been written this way.
Since raylib v1.1, you can download a windows Installer package for easy installation and configuration. Check [raylib Webpage](http://www.raylib.com/)
