M.U. MOORE Good GUI for writing LaTeX and PdfTex stuff, though not as good as the Alpha/OzTeX combo back in the old days.. Well, after all this one is free! Keep on the good work.

JEFF WRAGG We have used TeXShop extensively in our department (Physics & Astronomy) for a couple of years now. Students and faculty love it. We use the current betas, (up to 2.1b7 now) and all is well. We formerly used iTeXMac, but switch to TeXShop because it was better. Not sure if that is still the case, but we are not motivated to switch back for now.

AMARTSIN Very slow on large TeX files (ca. 1 MB): global substitutions take forever. Poor synchronization: at times would not syncronize at all, at other times, would produce a completely irrelevant selection. Ogre Kit is disfunctional: live update repeats the first updated line in each line thereafter; the window reappears by itself (even when it has been closed) after computer wakes up and is impossible to close after that (you can close it only by quitting TexShop). I am working on a large translation project and have to use Ogre Kit, but this is a torture. Used to be much better ...

PROFINITE Indeed, Textures is dead despite BlueSky having come out of a not-even-alpha release for OS X. We need to get our typset done NOW, and TeXShop is what all Textures users would turn to. Good GUI and true OS X interface. TeXShop is here to stay and serve us well.

J. MATHEWS Elgin Johnston and I wrote a calculus book using Textures. We tried to remain faithful to Textures, which served us well, but I gave up on Textures and have switched to TeXShop. It is a very good program.

DAVID LE PAGE TeXShop is an excellent application -- thank you very much. I haven't used LaTeX previously, and am sure this application has eased my baptism of fire. Unfortunately, I cannot get the latest update to work - the icon bounces in the dock, but nothing else happens. So I've reverted to the previous version, which still works just fine. I'm running Panther X.3.9.

ERIC D The best TeX front end for mac osX. It's easy to use with a lot of features to have a personalised workspace. I used to work with Texture in mac os 9 but even if Textures would be released in os X I don't think I could come back. If you want to use *all* the mac fonts TexShop is fully compatible with Xetex : you get the best text editing.

ANONYMOUS TexShop is a great application. Thanks for version 2.01, it corrected the bugs in 2.00, except that some of the French translation was lost (in particular the Typeset button). | |

VADOR This is about v1.37: 1) it works fine with X.3.9. 2) it doesn't seem to work with X.2.8 (launches briefly, then quits unexpectedly -- typical behavior of Panther apps). Jaguar users should backup the previous release (TeXShop 1.35e) before trying this one...

ANONYMOUS Well, I have to say that 2.0 is really slow under Tiger. It is also seems to be quite buggy. I often get the beachball or it does not respond at all. I have to force quit it. Also the GUI has not changed, and now looks quite outdated. I do not give any rating because I assume that this ist simply a beta and fixes will follow shortly.

ANONYMOUS Please note version 2.0 requires Tiger 10.4.0. For people on 10.3.x there is another update to 1.37. From the deloper's page:Version 1.37 contains all changes in 2.00 except those which depend on PDFKit.

POCKETSIZESUN I started using LaTeX on the Mac five years ago (with something named OzTeX or similar) on Mac OS 8, and after a long break got back to using LaTeX. After searching for information on current distributions and front-ends, I found two recommendations: TeXShop and iTeXMac. I installed both, with some problems with the i-Installer first (by default had a bad URL or something), but after fixing that, everything ran smoothly. iTeXMac was said to have more features, but those could be overwhelming as well. For the beginner, I would recommend TeXShop, and the chances are good you'll stay with it. Only small downside: it's version field isn't compatible with MacUpdate Desktop (which shows only 'TeXShop' as the installed version).

SPECIAL AGENT SAWYER TeXShop is the coolest _front end_. - Works not to good with external editors (i use AlphaX, which is the best). The built-in editor is quite fine but I'd prefer to have tyhe choise. - The iInstaller for the underlying teTeX is complete rubbish, hard to maintain, difficult to install new packages (compare it with MikteX, which comes for windows, but is quite more Mac like). Anyway, it's still the best, and i hope it improves further.

ANONYMOUS Absolutely excellent. From the viewpoint of a mathematician, TeXShop has the perfect balance between features and ease of use (whereas many other LaTeX editors have more buttons and panels than a nuclear plant). It works perfectly and is constantly improving. Wonderful job.

JLAURENS There is very far from TeXShop to a 5 stars latex editor. Don't let people believe that they will know LaTeX just because they download TeXShop. Moreover, TeXShop does not increase significantly the LaTeX learning curve, in fact, the most difficult/interesting part of the job starts after. LaTeX is more difficult to learn than any standard word processors, but the results are so nice.

SIMON Hairy biker, could you please give us a URL for a LaTeX template for normal letters. I write all my scientific stuff with LaTeX and would love to also write letters with it, but I would need a decent template or at least an example LaTeX file. Could you give us a URL for the one you use? | |

INGO KECK For typesetting letters with LaTeX have a look at TUG's TeX-FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=letterclass Personally, I use 'dinbrief' which provides the style for a typical letter in Germany. | |

HAIRY_BIKER I have been toying with LaTeX for a couple of years now, nothing too serious, just personal letters mainly. I like the final page output enough that I prefer it over a traditional WP. Having tried all the usual tools, BBEdit, Alpha, eMacs, and others, TeXShop is just the only way to do LaTeX now. It's so easy to use, and getting a page started is a breeze, even for a novice. The idea of having a PDF document for output is great too, as I have a fixed document in my files, quite handy if you need to prove date of creation. The inclusion of the spell checker puts it above all the other tools too, aqnd it does seem to be the most stable TeX tool I have tried, most others have crashed at some point, TeXShop hasn't (yet!). Thanks for such a brilliant free product.
