I wonder if part of the reason that there is a lot more participation on Linux as opposed to cygwin is that maybe most people who use cygwin do so because there job requires use of a windows platform but need the tool set provided by Linux/Unix. At home on their own time, they are much more likely to muck around with Linux than windows/cygwin. Just a thought.
