I hadn't planned to, for this very reason: > I know that it has issues with terminal I/O, but I usually pipe > expressions into it anyway, so that's not a major problem for me. Actually, there is an issue with *all* I/O; for instance, the nickle cairo bindings are unusable because the UI is not responsive. I believe the issue is with nickle/file.c, which uses asynchronous I/O with either O_ASYNC (linux-specific?) or I_SETSIG (POSIX), neither of which Cygwin supports. That being said, since you find nickle usable despite this (rather large) limitation, I have packaged the latest nickle release for 1.7 and it will be part of the next upload.
