- emgee3 11y agoSure if you want a full set of native tools I won't suggest otherwise. But a full cygwin install is way more invasive than node, and if you just want some specific tools, vorpal might be for you. Or maybe cygwin is. Whatever works for you.

- scardine 11y agoI think GOW (GNU on Windows) is a better alternative to cygwin.
- baldfat 11y agoI am still holding my breath for Windows 10 to start including more and more Unix tools. We finally have ssh to be included with Windows 10 and having tools awk, sed, grep on Windows seems like a logical move for Microsoft EVENTUALLY. For now I use vagrant all the time when I am on Windows.
