It seems tremendously nicer than the crummy terminal that Cygwin brings up by default. The X11-like cut and paste is a joy. The scollback-buffer is a joy. If X for Win32 is an option with rxvt (and it can run without X11.dll), why eliminate that option? It seems quite valuable to me. I happen to have an X11.dll on hand. Maybe it is compatible ... A feature of Cygwin I really like is that I can run network servers so that I can ssh or telnet into my Windows box to start X11 clients (like xterm) and not have to be faced with the limitations of the dreadful Windows user interface and forced to use a particular keyboard & monitor.
