I love Cygwin, but I have experienced what I would describe as rot. (manifested via errors on fork()). I think that's caused by things changing around it, via windows dll updates, but I don't have a lot of insight into windows' dll handling and whatnot so I don't know for sure. Also pretty sure installing new cygwin packages can cause this. Usually, rebaseall fixes such problems.

In any event, I much prefer Cygwin to the alternatives.
