None of that is a problem for me. Instead of SSH, I suggest plink from PuTTY (which Tramp supports out of the box), and the "mini posix environment" that comes with GIT, which are MSYS programs, is available in native MinGW ports from GnuWin32. So, while the initial setup does takes some effort, it is not too hard and doesn't require anything except unzipping a bunch of archives and setting up PATH.
