And your definition of "usability" comes down to a prehistoric version
of GCC, no longer maintained, nor even maintainable.

You think 2 days is good?  Incredible!  Thankfully, the majority of
users are less befuddled by Microsoft brainwashing.

Using the current mingw-get installer, I can install a full system in
around 30 minutes.  Yes, that needs an on-line install, but you need
on-line connectivity to download packages for any installation -- if you
want it off-line, direct that initial installation to removable media,
and, as John E. has already suggested, you can clone it to as many
off-line machines as you like.
