It kind of works. Performance is horrible, but still better
than almost everything comparable (and there isn't anything
comparable). You have to be very careful not to push it
(them, actually: cygwin and windows) too hard: it is quick
to fall over taking down the whole machine with it (yes,
avoid Ctrl-C at all costs).
The repos have always been recoverable for me, though.

Avoid Win32 if possible, work somewhere in a sane environment,
using windows for testing, if you have to.

Yes.
