We can start by small wins by making CLI a bit smarter, if the user do "cordova build" the cordova project might have multiple platforms and some of them it can't compile, the same for "cordova run", printing a message and skipping the step would be a good improvement.
for "cordova create", I agree with Andrew ios should be easy to write in nodejs and be able to run the create command in a non OSX.
