Agreed. However, expect the occasional surprise when
running non-Cygwin console binaries since they won't
recognize that they are running on a terminal. I use
a Tcl-based debugger at work, and when running it in
Win32 console mode under RXVT, I don't get a prompt.
If that's not an issue for you, go ahead and don't
look back.
BTW, you can specify Windows-style fonts for RXVT in
your .Xdefaults file. For example, here are the RXVT
options in my .Xdefaults file:
Rxvt.geometry: 120x50
Rxvt.saveLines: 1000
Rxvt.backspacekey: ^?
Rxvt.meta8: true
Rxvt.font1: "Lucida Console-10"
Rxvt.font2: "Lucida Console-13"
Rxvt.font: "Lucida Console-16"
Rxvt.font3: "Lucida Console-19"
Rxvt.font4: "Lucida Console-22"
Rxvt.font5: "Lucida Console-25"
Rxvt.font6: "Lucida Console-28"
Rxvt.color4: lightblue3
Rxvt.background: rgb:3f/1f/1f
Rxvt.foreground: PapayaWhip
Rxvt.color12: SteelBlue
Rxvt.color15: PapayaWhip
Rxvt.scrollBar_right: true
Rxvt.scrollstyle: next
(I don't know whether the quotes are recommended or
not. At least on my system they're not needed, but
I've seen other posters use them.)
