Yes, it's different. UnxUtls gives you grep, tar, tr, gzip, and etc. Clink appears to give you shell command completion and history completion.

They are complementary.

Which is nice, because you get fine grained control over which bandaids you put over cmd.exe. This basically gives you readline and not much else, and you don't have to install multiple possibly overlapping bandaids to get it.
