Could you be more specific? What "style of writing programs" are you
referring to? Is it just the indentation? That's surely an extremely
trivial thing.
Cygwin is unusual in that it's written in C++ but hopefully that's
not *too* big a barrier at this time.
Otherwise, given the vast popularity of GNU tools and the huge number of
people contributing to them, I'm mystified as to your problems with the
GNU style of writing software. There is so much GNU software available
that one could easily make the case that it is actually the norm.
