Yes, Windows is a major target. But most developers use Linux, so debugging support is best on that platform. Feel free to contribute WinDbg helper scripts!
As the names try to imply, release builds are for releasing and debug builds are for debugging. While you can run a release build in a debugger, you typically won't have much fun with it because compiler optimizations are getting in the way (e.g. you can't see the value of variables that got compiled out; line-by-line stepping is no longer possible after code reordering).
