I feel that i'm in the same boat, because 
my stacks (that works fine in Windows and Linux)
produce many errors when moved to Mac OS X.

Until i could get a Mac OS X machine, many of
these errors left me scratching my head, because
i'm not able to see them in the Windows machines
that i'm using.

Another issue is that some developers are using
older engines... 
for example the script: "Sort numeric"
fails in Metacard 2.4 but works fine in 2.5

I'm completely sure that Xavier's stacks are
highly dependent of the environment in which
he develops them. 
It's Windows 2000, Xavier?

Do you mean Mac OS X users and developers? ;-)

I still hope to read extensives testing benchmarks
and reviews of our stacks in a RunRev produced
magazine. 

Without specific or detailed feedback and advise
from others more experienced developers is
difficult to improve our code...
