I take your point, but disagree. Cygwin isn’t especially user-friendly, and modern GNU/Linux distros are trivially easy to install as dual-boot systems, so there’s no real commitment there. And if you’re using a real GNU/Linux distro then you’ll be able to find help for your exact version of the software much more easily—cygwin has a fairly small install base by contrast.
