MinGW provides a simple way for linux devs to compile their projects for Windows without having to learn how to use MSVC or Visual Studio
According to their website, it hasn't been updated since 2017
According to SF repository, it (MinGW) was moved to https://osdn.net/projects/mingw

Another point is, that MinGW does not integrate well in Windows. There are no folder in Startmenu and there is no options to remove from the Remove GUI. The whole package lays bare metal on C:\
Great cross-compiler for Windows Linux.
Has pacman as package manager, easier to use than cygwin,great!
This is has having bash in windows, without have heavy cygwin along. You have profile, home dir, /c/… drive like pipe and much more. Love it
aren't u talking about MSYS? MSYS isn't MinGW^^ MinGW is a (GCC) Compiler Suite...
