Personally, I don't use it because I rarely use Windows, but I know
people who do since the beginning of this year, and in general they are
happy with it. It works faster than Cygwin version due to some Git
specific optimization put into mingw compatibility layer. So, the only
complain I heard so far is from people who got Cygwin on their computer,
and they don't like that MSysGit installs MSys, which means another set
of POSIX utilities such as bash but different version (usually more old)
and having a different HOME directory.
