The Revolution team has done an excellent job of providing a truly cross-platform development tool with very little differences!
I have developed Revolution applications on both a Mac G4 and Windows 2000 & XP machines and have not run into any platform related bugs. From my experience, Revolution seems to run equally well on both Mac & Windows machines. I do not detect a performance difference or advantage relating to the software. Because I am more comfortable working from Mac OS X, I tend to do 90% of development from the Mac, BUT when it comes time to distribute to a Windows market, I always have to load my Rev Stack onto a Windows PC and do cosmetic changes because the final stack or standalone does not display the same on both operating systems. Text fields, labels and other elements such as buttons will shift position so alignment is off. Also, background colors that appear white or transparent from the Mac can display with a shaded color on Windows until you go to the color palette and assign a color. If you are building apps for a Windows audience and want to avoid this extra step, you may choose to develop directly from Windows. I choose to develop on a Mac because I like all of the other Mac friendly design tools that I use for the interface elements and I prefer the Mac OS X environment... So for me, it is worth the extra steps at the end of the project to clean up alignments from a Windows computer or using a Windows computer as a visual reference.
