I am not.
You are the one that suggested that by using it one would avoid the cmd.exe box.
And the only time that is a problem is when starting up cygwin and only then.

Why would you use a MS Windows GUI to run a cygwin program?

I guess you got confused since there were two different points being
discussed.
Regarding the dos box, when starting cygwin initially.  Because we
already have a putty terminal emulator which is superior.
