Yep, agreed. My major complaint with Cygwin is the lack of a decent package manager. 'sudo apt-get install' on ubuntu is addictive.

  Same here. Plus awkward integration with the actual filesystem (/ should be C:), and I've always hated cmd.exe as compared to virtually any linux xterm

    You can install Cygwin into C:\ actually, which makes / == C:\. I find that does make it feel much better integrated with Windows. And there are several alternatives to the default console: mintty and rxvt if you don't want to run an X server, and xterm and rxvt-unicode if you do.

      Thank you! That's fantastic advice. Still not perfect, but much better!
