I'm using them both without much problems (on Creator Update, not on Fall Creator Update yet). I use them only for the command line. As mentioned the CMD is not the best, but it gets the job done. I am also looking into combining mintty and wsl, which takes some effort. Since the architecture is much different, wsl is much faster and has all the good stuff from the official Ubuntu repositories. But Cygwin is available on Win7 and on servers, and Cygwin has cygrunsrv, which wsl both lacks. And I use 'noacl' on my /cygdrive mounts. WSL lack something like that as well. That is really a big thing to me. I don't want a bash-script to mess up my file permissions, especially not on network drives where permissions can be crucial. WSL cannot mount network drives, at least in the version I'm using. I don't see myself choosing sides any time soon. Cygwin is still my favorite and most used.
