Not OP, outside of games I keep a dual boot pretty much exclusively for Visual Studio - imo it's one of the best debuggers I've ever used. I know gdb is just as powerful if not more, but it is so much less ergonomic, even with the different frontends I've tried. Edit and continue for C/C++ is such a killer feature too. I stick away from msbuild or using it as an editors it's purely my debugher.
Granted it helps that a lot of the time I need "advanced" debugging relates to msvc/windows specific issues, which while I could run it in wine, it's just easier if I'm on windows anyway.
