The main annoyance is that everything is read-only, even though I own the files. I remember a long time ago being able to mount a samba share under linux and telling it what uid/gid to use for unrecognized owners, but I can't remember the magic incantation or find it on Google; plus, I'm not sure it would work in cygwin anyway, since the mount utilities are totally different.
