Most people use vim, or Emacs or XEmacs. You probably have vim 
installed. For Emacs and XEmacs you have to explicitly install them.

BTW: You don't "download and put into the BIN" anything. You use 
setup.exe to "install" Cygwin apps. You could augment your PATH to 
include paths to other editors/apps on your system but if your trying to 
use the command line as simply a launcher of other, non-Cygwin Windows 
apps then you're not really getting it...
