I run emacs under cygwin, and I prefer it. It is integrated with all the
other tools I have running under there. I can download and build my own
version every time I want to. I set up an emacsclient.bat to be called
from Windows, so there's really no difference.

I got my emacs using cvs from savannah.gnu.org. I use 22.0.50.1 (the
latest from less than a month ago) and I had no problem building it
under cygwin. If you pay attention to the ./configure messages you may
find out you have to go back and install some packages from cygwin -
such as a compiler :) or automake or some such -, but otherwise it's
pretty seamless.
