About "difficulty of uninstalling" the answer is here:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all

short version:
- stop all cygwin programs
- stop all the cygwin services
- zap the cygwin directory

Of course someone like me find some upsides, like having a
large number of unix tools available on windows, otherwise
we will have no users nor any packagers.
