Ever heard of "tab completion"?

Right. So instead of a clean Cygwin root layout like...
|---bin
|---cygdrive
| |---c
| |---d
| |---e
| |---f
| `---z
|---dev
|---etc
|---home
|---lib
|---proc
|---sbin
|---tmp
|---usr
`---var
...you will now have something like...
|---bin
|---c
|---d
|---dev
|---e
|---etc
|---f
|---home
|---lib
|---proc
|---sbin
|---tmp
|---usr
|---var
`---z
