Lightroom and some other programs. LR runs on both Windows and Mac, so I'm tied to these.
For why I'm weary, see Cygwin comments in OP. And, this[1] (while I don't run Windows 8 at home, I do at work). Microsoft could have bought Cygwin before Red Hat. They could have embraced the differences between UNIX and Windows and made me love Windows as a better UNIX. PowerShell? No thanks. Even if I didn't hate it, it's Windows only. Give me Bash.
Windows is an inferior OS. When I start a Cygwin Bash process, there is a non-zero chance that I won't get some memory I need. The fix is to shutdown all Cygwin processes and to rebase ALL of the dlls used by Cygwin to different addresses. Seriously, true virtual memory has been around for what, more than 30 years? Still today you can run/load a device driver that puts crap in the middle of every program's address space. How is this tolerated??
I have two CentOS boxes at home, where I do lots of my work. Every night they are updated with the latest rpms to fix problems. I only have to reboot when I install a new kernel. Windows, on the other hand, needs to reboot for almost every single Windows Update.
These are the reasons I'm weary of using this shit OS.
