On Windows, default terminal for Atom's Platformio-Ide-Terminal is Powershell (at least, that is what I get without any configuration).

I would prefer a terminal using unix-type commands. I already have MINGW and CYGWIN installed.

How can I avoid opening a Powershell and opening another terminal type instead?

Set the default shell in: Edit>>Settings>>Packages>>Platformio Ide Terminal>>Settings>>Shell Override

You can use the git's bash as proposed here as you probably already have git installed.

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe
