i use cygwin as well, but there is enough cruft around the edges that i would drop it in a heartbeat for something more polished and less hacky.

accidentally typing ls in a regular ol' windows command prompt leading to explosive crashes drives me slightly nuts from time to time for instance...

From what I've heard so far Bash on Windows is, right now, the exact opposite of polished. Cygwin does suck a lot of the times, but I've become used to its idiosyncrasies so I'm just waiting for all the kinks to be ironed out before switching.
