Not just Perl (Score:1)

I prefer bash to cmd.exe.

I like using the same editors on my Windows machines that I use on *nix. Generally, I like working the same way under Windows that I do on *nix machines.

I like grabbing a .tar.gz file off the net, ./configure and make it and it just works. That happens more often than you might think with cygwin.

That being said, I do experience a lot of cygwin fatigue. They've made some questionable decisions down through the years and refuse to revisit or discuss them.
