I was wondering whether TeX on the Mac has any fundamental
advantages over TeX on the PC?  Are there any special features
which make the editing process easier (i.e. more WYSIWYG)?
Or is it just that the font selection is greater?  I have been
using a PC program called SBTEX for a while now and it works
fine for my LaTeX stuff but I sometimes get a little sick about
not being able to see it on screen as I'm working on it and 
having to deal with the rather limited selection of fonts.
Thanks for the info.
