What? I've had cygwin in my path since the B19 days (that's right, even *before* the infamous B20). I regularly (and almost exclusively) use cygwin tools in the command processor; I have a mintty session open, but only use it when I need to do shell-related things.

There's no reason not to have Cygwin in the Windows path, and lots of reasons to do so (grep, cat, tail, head, etc., etc.).
