I currently use a separate machine (Thinkpad R31) for Étoilé development. I have a habit of doing things that kill X periodically, so working over SSH is convenient. I could probably do the same thing with a VM, but currently none of them have good support for graphics hardware which makes things like the composite extension very slow (and Apple's X11 doesn't support Composite or Render so I can't use it for remote access although apparently Xephyr now runs on OS X so that might be an option). I tried using Parallels but I found regular kernel panics to be somewhat distracting. Apparently this was caused by their misunderstanding how IPIs worked. They claim it's fixed now, but I'm not running any ring-0 code written by people who don't RTFM before releasing again. I've heard good things about VirtualBox, which has the advantage of being free (and Free for a slightly limited version).
