It's always performed flawlessly for me. Have you reported the
problems to the Cygwin folks, or tried to fix the issues yourself?

Linux != Gnu, though to some that might seem like splitting hairs.

What other free development environments are there for Win32 that
offers power and flexibility comparable to the Cygwin tools? Visual
Studio is not free (quite the opposite!), and for many OSS developers,
that makes it impractical.

Sorry, I realize this is getting pretty off topic, especially for the
Python group, which is where I'm reading it.
