I've never seen a PC 'clone' of a Mac app work anywhere near as well as the original app - a programmer without enough style and creativity to create their own intuitive interface never seems to pick up the subtleties of the app that made it so good in the first place.

I had this experience with a Twitterrific 'clone' on Windows that looked superficially very close, but didn't display tooltips when I moved the mouse over a tweet, and I couldn't drag tweets to the desktop to create HTML shortcuts. The list of missing features went on and on... but it looked convincing in a screenshot on a web page!
