Which tools, and what manipulations?
And to make it more fun, Win10 with an optional install that is part of the Creator's Update adds libraries and utilities that let you run Ubuntu command line tools from within Win10.

I use MSYS2 for some of my personal stuff and I prefer it. Mostly for not having to deal with the Cygwin installer.

I prefer it because MSYS stuff is built with MS runtimes, not the Cygwin1.dll, so I have less of the "these things exist in different worlds and bridging the gaps between them is a pain."
