I personally use emacs under X almost exclusively. But some cygwin
users like to use emacs in a terminal. And I occasionally find it
useful to do that also (for instance, when I use ssh admin@localhost to
simulate 'su' in order to make a quick edit). As the emacs maintainer
for cygwin, I'm trying to make this work as well as possible.

This is a matter of personal preference. For the kinds of things that I
do, I find it more convenient to use cygwin emacs.
