[OS X TeX] I'm done with TeXShop as my main editor

[Paul Smyth]

I'm finding it a bit annoying the negativity being displayed on this  
list towards certain pieces of software. First we have Gerhardt  
castigating i-Installer et. al. Now we have this thread. I use  
TeXShop and find it eminently suitable for my purposes. Ok,  you  
prefer VI or Vim or whatever. Why tell us about if if not to imply  
that that there is something difficient about TeXShop. I'm sure the  
rest of us don't care what software you use. The tone of your subject  
line alone is quite dismissive of TeXShop. The problem is that with  
this kind of negativity towards something like TeXShop the guys that  
write and maintain it will justly feel they are wasting their time  
and quite possibly give up. We've already had this situation happen  
once recently on this list. I for one do not want to see that happen.
