Oh, no, the experience is way better than Cygwin. Cygwin feels exactly like what it is a: bolt-on trying to emulate features and filesystem structures of a completely alien OS. It feels clunky, what you see when you do 'ls' at the 'root' of your filesystem is completely different to what you see when you 'dir' (or use the Windows Explorer.) OS X is a completely different story. If you ever used BSD before, you know how it feels 'almost' like linux, barring a few differences. It's the same with OS X. Besides package management (which is greatly alleviated by Homebrew) and so-so integration of X applications, I can't say I miss my Ubuntu laptop at all.
