It's just too painful, and there's absolutely NO upside.
Hi Dave:
Why are you holding back so much from giving us your real opinion of
Cygwin? :-)
Seriously though, I wonder if some of your complaints have an answer.
About "difficulty of uninstalling" the answer is here:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all
short version:
- stop all cygwin programs
- stop all the cygwin services
- zap the cygwin directory
Of course someone like me find some upsides, like having a
large number of unix tools available on windows, otherwise
we will have no users nor any packagers.

PS: cmake works fine on cygwin, so
thanks Dave.
