RXVT has it's own distinct advantages and many Cygwin users prefer it.
Initial placement _is_ under user control, if you go to the launching shortcut's Properties dialog, Layout pane, uncheck "Let system position window". Then you can enter the coordinates of the window's top-left corner in the "Window Position" numeric fields.
