Totally: if you want to redistribute stuff msys2 makes this much easier. I have both on my system.
As a shell environment I like cygwin. With posix compatibility I can compile nearly everything (that does not use libuv).
I do not get the narrative of complicated setup for this use case. Download installer and click next a few times: does not seem to be so difficult. The cygwin package installer IMHO is a bit easier to use than pacman.
