Cygwin tries to make Windows look like unix (from a command-line POV),
so it very much runs against the grain of "real" windows programs.

Plus, it's a pain to install and invoke,
and doesn't deal nicely with real windows paths (it maps the windows
filesystem to a unix-y style single root path structure),
