Well, can't speak for others, but, following the mantra of eating our own
dog food, I use Cygwin to develop Cygwin stuff.  And, considering that the
only editor that just plain works by default in the Cygwin console is
VIm...

Actually, I was in the vi camp all along anyway.  But thought I'd try to
make a non-religious argument here... :-)
