Bad things with Cygwin? Well for me it is just an essential tool. 
Without it I'm lost when using Windows cmd.exe! Nothing can be done with 
this dumb shell! At the same time I running Cygwin/X and mrxvt to get a 
decent shell (rezise). I'm also enjoying connecting via ssh, using svn, 
cvs, git, bash... I'm even running sshd on my Windows box to connect to 
it from other machines. The only complaint I'll have is that Cygwin is a 
bit slow, but well worth using it.

I'm using Cygwin since quite some years now. No problem and yes I'm 
upgrading Cygwin at least once a week.

Just my 2 cents too :)

Pascal.
