I tried all the Pandora clients for Windows, they all are ugly/cumbersome/lacking features. How hard is it to port Hermes to Windows?

Agreed — I settled on a console-based client on Windows (pianobar) after having tried and hated all the GUI options. I don't think there'd be much code in Hermes that would be easily portable directly; there are a few compatibility layers for Cocoa on Windows that might work, but they'd still require quite a lot of work I think. This wouldn't cover the lower levels like audio and networking, which would probably have to be completely reimplemented.
