See my experience with conda under Windows. While I'm not saying that
conda "doesn't work", being directed to software that turns out to
have its own set of bugs, different to the ones you're used to, is a
pretty frustrating experience. (BTW, I raised a bug report. Let's see
what the response is like...)
