I agree. For the most part that is how we do work. We develop on the Mac and test on Windows. The problem is that things, e.g., OpenGL or Cocoa via Cocotron, are often a bit different. Having Hemlock, or any other tool, working on Windows is still important because otherwise the back and forth, even with Parallels, is pretty tedious.
