Corinna, you're right and wrong at the same time.
cmd by itself is unbearable, yes.
But it's a default system shell which is used to launch applications from
other shells, like Far manager. And THAT is what makes up for what cmd lacking
in usability. Unfortunately, certain things still killing the uasability of
cygwin environment when used that way, and even having 4NT (/TakeCommandConsole)
replacing the cmd does not help alot... :(
