Cygwin just feels "heavy" when all I want is rsync. Without any package management (that I'm aware of) I can't just install rsync and whatever other dependencies it has, I have to put hunderds? more binaries on my system.
"alive and well" might be a stretch. I don't know a soul who plugs their devices into their computers. Using VLC to watch media is also a blast from the past. Grandpa, is that you?
