cygwin is really a nice environment on Windows. When it comes to qooxdoo, though, it is important that you *don't* use cygwin's Python to run the generator, as cygwins I/O layer is much slower than the native Windows I/O (which isn't very fast either). A Windows-native Python installation (like ActivePython's) runs just as fine in a cygwin bash, but is much faster.
