despite requiring useless switches just show how terrible devs are becoming nowadays...
XP is an unsupported OS. Considering GZDoom's feature set, it makes little sense to support something that has seen very little usage per Graf's surveys.
The general implication that people are terrible devs for dropping support for an OS where the GZ userbase isn't located is kind of mindboggling to hear, really.

Unofficially, it isn't. But officially (As in: Microsoft) it is. Its not even in an Extended Support stage.
There is a sound argument for why XP is not supported beyond the fact that even Microsoft itself does not support it anymore - The survey's. I am sure you can those and figure out the numbers that come from it.
If both arguments fall flat, then there is also a third option - Fork GZDoom and make it able to be compiled by MingW.

Its open source, after all.
