I think 10's of 1000's would argue with you. Since March 2004 there
have been ~700,000+/- downloads of MSYS-1.0.10.exe alone.

I try to stay away from the windows CLI preferring bash instead. As
for GIT using Cygwin or MSYS they can write a shell command once and
not have to port it to CMD .bat files so that it supports UNIX and
WINDOWS at the same time. Less overhead in interoperability is the
biggest benefits of Cygwin and MSYS even though it may be slightly
sub-optimal.
