Cygwin?

I'm not exactly understanding the use case for this.

Is this like a modern day Cygwin?

No, these are two completely different tools.

Compared to Cygwin, vfox is just a small tool which is more like scoop.

Simply put, while scoop can only install the latest version, vfox can install any version, and has some extra features for project development, such as using different versions for different projects, automatic switching between versions, and so on.
