I prefer using both depending on use case. Powershell for working with Windows Objects and terminal stuff that doesn't play as nicely with a POSIX like shell. Cygwin for everything else (git, bash, ssh, etc). Cygwin is also much more than a shell (if comparing to powershell), so there's reason to have something like it beyond scripting.
