[OS X TeX] Kile's out, Texmaker's in

I heard about texmaker on a windows tex mailing list (I use LaTeX on Mac at school and Windows at home.). I decided to try it out. Installing Qt, is a pain. It takes a long time if you download Qt (I used the free version) from www.trolltech.com. You are compiling from source code. You will need the developers tool installed to do this.

This would have been good to know today morning before I started my Qt installation process. It might have not helped me though. I use 10.2.8. The website I believe offers Qt for 10.3 alone. I guess for the few of us on 10.2.8, its the long path we have to take. On the bright side, you can compile it as a background job.

Today I got Qt installed barely before I got kicked out of the lab. Tomorrow its texmaker's turn. I will post my experiences in case someone is interested.
