[OS X TeX] Jaguar and TeXShop/teTeX - safe?

[Joseph C. Slater]

It depends on the speed of your machine, as well as your tolerance for 
speed issues. I've found TeXShop to be quite fine, but it may be a 
matter of my settings. There is always the option of using other 
editors that haven't been reported to have these problems (e.g. Vim, 
Emacs, BBEdit). I think the only problem remaining now for some is the 
slow updating. However, this isn't a killer. iTeXMac has had some 
recent speed problems, but that is being resolved as well.

I think clean installing without a clear need to do so is a waste of 
time (coming from someone who has done it more than they should have). 
Just remember to run the disk utility and fix permissions after 
upgrading.
