I can't comment on that because I stopped using cygwin long time ago, but the main advantage of MSYS2 is that it just requires to run one installer and then it resolves the dependencies problem (which is the real hurdle) since all those dependencies are available from its package repository and can be installed with one command: $ pacman -S I intend to provide a script that runs that command so the user does not need to figure out the list.
