Seconding this. I'm a wannabe hobbyist type designer and I found FontForge to be prohibitively difficult to use. I'm sure it's wonderful once you sink in the many hours needed to learn it but I just want to drag around vectors and try things out. Like you, I don't know for sure if Crossfont hits this sweet spot but I would love it if someone managed to do so.

Other options you might want to consider -- but at a substantially higher price point -- would be Fontographer or Glyphs.app. In my experience they're substantially easier to get to grips with than FontForge. (I believe they both have free demos available, so you could play around a bit before deciding if you want to spend a couple hundred dollars on this hobby.)
