Problem with PDFView: when you re-typeset, it doesn't hold your place  
on the page. (I can't remember if it bounces you back to the top of  
the document, or else to the top of the page.)

The developer has been apprised of the great desire of TeX users to  
have the document hold its place upon typesetting and has stated that  
it will be changed in the next release.

For general PDF viewing, though, I think that PDFView is a superior  
application.
