Basically USB cameras are too rubbish for what I'm trying to do, and I'm trying to develop for the RPi but the RPi is just too underpowered to develop image processing stuff on.
Is there any way I can plug the RPi camera into a normal computer?

There's no way I'm aware of to plug the camera into a normal computer; the interface is quite specialized, and as I understand it the vast majority of the camera's functionality is implemented in the Pi's GPU rather than on the camera's ISP. That said, shipping data from the Pi's camera to another machine for processing is quite easy.
