I didn't really like cygwin when on windows. For some reason, whenever I would hit delete, instead of going backwards and erasing the previous character, it just spaced me forwards. This meant I had to count the number of times I hit backspace then start typing whatever it was I needed in the middle of the next line, surrounded by whitespace.

I gave up and switched to Ubuntu.

The problem of the delete/backspace dichotomy on character terminals is older than both our ages put together.

I meant to say backspace.
