Not at all.
If you truly NEED Cygwin, i.e. for tests, a WinXP or so installed in a VM is a
way to go.
Otherwise, just use regular native tools available in your system. Only
precaution I might suggest is to make sure the tools you are using are
available for Cygwin in the same (or compatible enough) form.
