If you like Visual Studio, by all means use Visual Studio.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you seem quite lost with basic Unix
concepts like installing a package, running an executable, setting up your
PATH, and editing a text file. This does not inspire a lot of confidence that
you're going to be able to design and implement a complex feature in the
software on your own. Successfully participating in GSoC is not going to get
any easier.
If the problem is that you are simply unfamiliar with Unix, but are an
experienced Windows developer, then I definitely recommend using Windows. (I
would be similarly lost in Windows.) There may be some rough spots getting
first set up to develop under Windows, but there are several people here eager
to help you diagnose and fix any build problems. In fact, fixing an important
Windows build problem would easily be a worthy qualifying patch.
