Does anyone of you use windows for libreoffice development?

No.

Do you have some
experience with Visual studio 2015?It's written on set up page that it
probabbly won't work,and it's recommended to use Visual studio 2013
with updates

This statement on the wiki: "... 2013 the preferred compiler for new
developers" is stale and must be removed. This statement pre-dated
two major fixes for VS 2015 and VS 2017 compilers, that were merged
very recently: [1], [2].

Moreover, for developer builds with debug mode enabled, with this diff
pending for review: [3] applied, there should be significant
performance benefit to use VS 2015 (not to mention VS 2017) compared to
VS 2013.

It worth also noting that VS 2013 is slated for removal, see recent ESC minutes.

"Keep original CFLAGS etc. unmodified in configure.ac" will hopefully 
fix that.
