I've been using this for about 2 years at work, and am pretty happy to have a program that provides ssh access and an X Windows servers "out of the box." It's nice that I can recommend this to my colleagues and then not have them come back to me with a lot of questions about how to get it working.
For me, MobaXTerm is a well-working substitute for PuTTy + MinGW.
The GUI does a few things differently from how I'd prefer. I think the SFTP client doesn't work with the style of password authentication I work with, and I wasn't able to get the "master control port" functionality working successfully. But mostly, it Just Works, and that's a good thing to be able to say of a piece of software.
I don't use the GUI to run Unix-y programs, though. I've installed some assortment of MinGW-based Unix utilities that will mostly run from my command line or (preferrably, for me) from ConEmu. For when I really need industrial-strength CygWin, I use the command line built into Git - or maybe CygWin itself.
