This was a result of my customization that I have forgot to remove. In general cmd window is more familiar/convenient for Windows users. IMHO, our goal here should be "as native (Windows) as possible". Cygwin fills "as close to *nix as possible" niche. But in any case it's such a minor detail that I don't really care much.
