My biggest issue with Cygwin (compared to SFU) right now is the lack of support for paths longer than MAX_PATH characters. AFAIK there are patches, but they are not in the standard build, and only partially solve the problem. I want to play with GNU arch a little bit, and the path limitation is a problem, although workarounds exist.
