Mentioning "goofy Windows GUI tools" in an apparently disparaging way and

in my eyes.

The point is the Windows tools are silliness built on top of the underlying
codebase found in its simplest form in Unix environments.

Simplicity is perhaps not the only virtue in programming but it's the
supreme virtue.

Go to the source. Go to the reference system. In the long run, the work
flow is Much Simpler That Way.

I've looked at cygwin a few times but never installed it (can't remember
exactly why). Seems like a Linux VM would be easier.

OF COURSE IT WOULD BE!! :)

But if you complain when I say "Cygwin instead of WinSCP" what would you
say if I suggested that Don bail on Windows and become a Linux hack?

Windows is a plague and pestilence, but unavoidable. It's made livable for
a programmer by installing Cygwin.
