some confirmation as to whether it is infact transgaming cider that was used for the macos version or if it is infact a full port would be nice.
They said in the live letter where they confirmed the Mac client, that they are working together with a Canadian company called Transgaming. Transgaming is generally best know for their Cider wrapper. Like you and others have already said, it's not as bad as an emulator, but it's not going to be as smooth as a native client. For those already playing using bootcamp, there's no reason to get the Mac client, especially if the client isn't going to be free. For those who aren't comfortable using bootcamp, or just don't want to, the Mac client is going to perform well enough.
