I have Cygwin, but only to allow the Linux boxes that I develop on
as well to connect to with X. I don't do the cygwin command-line,
because it's 100x less efficient than what I *do* use.

No, it won't. It's also an additional umpteen-megabyte installation
that is a royal pain in the ass. In any case, I do all of my CVS and
Subversion work directly from TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN -- GUI
interfaces that make these as easy to use as Perforce and ClearCase,
and millions of times easier than the command-line tools.

You know what? I *have* proper command-line editing, completion, and
history. This isn't 1995, and if you've not used cmd.exe since 2002,
you don't know what you're talking about. The cygwin terminal is
bloated and slow in comparison, and it overlays a different
filesystem on top of the existing Windows filesystem. Not only that,
I only generally drop into cmd.exe to run certain commands
repeatedly -- I use TotalCommander (think mc but tons better) as my
central application -- including as my interface to TortoiseSVN and
TortoiseSVN.

So no, Cygwin isn't acceptable in the least. It's be a step
backwards. And anyone who says otherwise does *not* know what
they're talking about when it comes to being efficient on Windows.
