One of the major good reasons, in my personal, biased opinion, 
is that Windows, contrary to Linux or OpenSolaris, lacks a central 
software repository with all the necessary dependencies for a 
build that would make a 'standard' developer setup as trivial as 
it is on other, friendlier operating systems.

Cygwin is a 'Linux'-y environment for Windows. Cmake is a build 
system. They are not necessarily interchangeable.
