I take it you have done this? Are there any "caveats" to developing this way? My main reasons are that I like the VS debugger details (My usual machine is OS X 10.6.8) but VS2010 is just painstakingly slow when compared against OS X and Makefiles (clang is even faster..). I use QtCreator (used to use Eclipse) on OS X and I generally like the environment. I would like to have the best of QtCreator (Fast start up and editing) with a great debugging experience. I may fire up a VM and try this out.
