Feature parity between Mac and Windows is a necessity for me as well. I teach 
at an upper secondary school (high school) in Norway, and we are obliged to use 
software that supports both platforms, as students bring their own computers 
and should not be required to install two OS-es to do their work. I think a 
request for feature parity would be in its place.

Best regards
