I don't know why YCOmega is getting downvoted, msys2 is actually an extremely nice environment, now that Interix has been dead for quite some time.

I wish msys2 would figure out how to port Cygwin's sshd, or figure out how to use Microsoft's new one to give me a msys2'ed zsh prompt instead of Powershell.

As far as I can tell (initial glance only), building this port requires Visual Studio which is a shame. It'd require a bit of effort to port. I wish MS had gone down the CMake route again.

As for Cygwin's sshd, we don't want to step their toes any more than we already have.
