I agree that the Simulators are "Not Ready for Prime Time" and I use them just as you describe to find specific failures. It wouldn't be so bad if the program failed gracefully but most of the time it fails catastrophically with the send info to Microsoft error.
Getting the simulators up to snuff seems like it should be a very high priority. The initial release of the T5's PIM was buggy and required a subsequent release. Had the simulators (and Gremlins) been better, I suspect it would have prevented PalmOne's T5 headaches.
Likewise, I seem to be getting more bug reports from users these days, I think because I can't run Gremlins on the new simulators.
