Years ago, I had a teammate that was always pushing me to try Cygwin. While I love a UNIX shell, Cygwin just felt... weird. The whole paths thing really turned me off. What pushed me to try it? He said to me: Why bother learning two shells (UNIX + DOS), when you can just use one (UNIX) everywhere? I couldn't find a good argument against it. I tried Cygwin, and, eventually (never?) got over the weirdness of paths.
