I use CW.  It is a bit nasty being part Windows, part Mac.  You get used to
it.  I've heard that it crashes on many people, but it's never crashed on
me.  It can be very fast to develope in, and I couldn't live without the CD
redirection (so the PSX can load files from your PC hard disk).

It's a love/hate thing.
