Yes and no. Actually you can easily access WSL from cygwin mintty, with 
command line or session launcher invocation (see manual and wiki for 
details), so running from cygwin is the most original and flexible 
approach; wsltty has no functional advantage. See also

https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/issues/ for discussing further details.
