I had totally forgotten about Cygwin until today when I came across a text editor for windows that can use textmate bundles. In their forum there was a post about e needing Cygwin to do some of its automation.
I used to cygwin years ago, and the idea of having unix tools on windows is extremely appealing. Microsoft is only recently coming on board with the idea of command line automation scripting with their introduction of Powershell. Powershell is definately something I’ll look into. Still, its nice to be able to install tools that are intended for linux or mac use and not have to set up a virtual environment to play with them.
I’m also looking forward to seeing how well e works.

sometimes http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ can be used instead of Cygwin
This will be better than e-texteditor soon…

Alpha is free. Win only.
(i’m sticking with emacs for now :P)
Emacs already does everything that TextMate does, and much more (with appropriate macros). It works on Windows, Unix, Mac OS and cygwin.

In no way can I see that Intype can compete with e, as in addition to have the bundle facilities e has also an unic undo facility, where you visual can jumt backward or forward to any of your previus version, as the e log any correction on a visual board.
You should realy try E text editor ? (http://www.e-texteditor.com/) That is prety close to TextMate and has an encredible undo facility too.
