Apparently a lot of people use it. >=20 Just glanced through the discussions, sounds like the blind leading the blind. To summarize the discussion: Something about users setting up some apt thing simply because they didn't know setup.exe could add packages. Gow is advertized as a Cygwin replacement, IMHO a poor replacement if it aims to follow in the gnuwin32 footsteps. I also like how they mentioned MSYS+MinGW32 is a capable replacement for Cygwin if somebody needed GCC on Windows. This sort of massive misunderstanding is why I tend to shy away from web 2.0 forums, is this called eternal September? --------------enigB15D90C37761BFC11402B499 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 196 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAk/VJyYACgkQp56AKe10wHf6oACeLnYB4R5HRHW5/yGJhB9L2n9s OckAn2vTUBGoFqecoe+2xBVeogUO/2JM =NwUw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB15D90C37761BFC11402B499--
