I'm the guy using Windows and working on Cygnal.  I have been stuck in Tool 
Hell for a few weeks now trying to get my code working under gcc and 
getting a reasonable build environment up.  I've sworn at my screen more in 
the last month than in the previous decade.  While I despise Microsoft in a 
lot of ways, I find myself more productive with Visual Studio and 
occasionally rxvt/bash than anything else--not that I like that state of 
affairs, mind you--although I do wish it did temple point-of-instantiation 
correctly.

I can't recommend switching until it's more mature.  I am already 
maintaining a local SVN server for my own day-to-day commits (those while 
unit tests are not passing) to deal with CVS deficiencies.
