With TeXtures I don't like it to save the .dvi information in the .tex file as
a resource. I do a lot of sharing of my .tex files with a Unix system, which
doesn't like the resource fork.

I also don't like that I can only TeX files which are open. I think the editor
is not very good, and I would like a much more emacs-like editor. But sharing
a TeX file between 2 editors is an open and close game I don't like

The newest TeXtures however seems to be faster than DirectTeX, especially when
doing previewing and printing.
