In my long experience with Cygwin, I use it for file processing (perl
and sed and pipes and such) and running some commands that it provides
(ssh, for example).  I don't know what "Win32 facilities" might refer
to, but when it comes to files and using drive letters, Cygwin has
been perfectly usable.

 From just the other replies I've seen, much of your other knowledge
is outdated or incomplete.
