That's why I buffed some of the HM moves. Cut is a 60 power Steel attack, Flash and Fly are 100% accurate, Strength is 90 power (matching Surf), and Rock Smash is 75 power (eventually I plan to give it Brick Break's screen-breaking effect). Surf and Waterfall were already good. Whirlpool... still sucks, but you only need it for the Whirl Islands sidequest.
I also decided that I like the idea of making Cut/Whirlpool/Rock Smash permanent, although this will have to wait for 3.0.
Cool, thanks. :) 2.1 will have new areas to explore: I posted a preview of Johto's western sea earlier, and have some ideas for Kanto too.
Why permanently smashed rocks? They don't block anything and making it permanent rids you of encounters (and if you want to backport HGSS features, items)
EDIT: I see that you made some in the upcoming cave. Unless this was for another reason than to prevent allowing access to Ercuteak without dealing with the Sudowoodo, you don't need to bother since you need Surf anyway.
Also, I saw this in your TODO: "Give female trainers better DVs, and use the new unique DVs feature to make certain Pokémon female"
Now you've entertained my curiousity. What unique DVs, HP/SpD? Did you make other changes to the pokémon structure as well?
