It's been a while since I used Windows so I can't really comment on the current state of Cygwin but the one thing that I still recommend Cygwin for is to use the X server if you want to log on to a *nix box and run something graphical.
- fuzzix 13y agoI appreciate people doing work like this. I've worked in Windows-only environments and used cygwin and some window manager (such as bblite) for my workflow. Good to know if I were still relying on that crutch that I could get tmux working. The supplied hardware at these gigs didn't really have the spec for spinning up VMs - this also spared me from fiddly network and other shared resource setup. I even had a "portable" cygwin install on a USB stick.
- ygra 13y agoI used Xming a while back, which seemed to work just as well as an X server, just without the Cygwin horrors.
