With latest Window Insider preview it's possible to run Linux command
from cmd, Windows commands from bash and even use input-output redirects!

Seems that WSL also automatically translate \r\n<->\n.

There still no (official) way to run GUI with WSL.

Is Cygwin still better for something?

I understand that WSL and Cygwin are completely different approaches,
but from user perspective both are kind of sets of GNU/Linux commands
and both are using some intermediate layer (cygwin1.dll or LXSS).
