Yes, but can it do my espresso?

A bit more seriously: Is there somewhere a detailed comparison of  
Alpha with TeXShop?

In particular, I would like to know:

	1. How easy it is to install and configure compared with TeXShop via  
i-Installer,

	2. How the previewing compares with that of TeXShop,

	3. How the synchronization works compares with that of TeXShop.

I am sure Alpha can do the above very well but it is not dedicated to  
LaTeX as TeXShop is and, while folding would be invaluable to me—the  
only reason I would consider switching, I lack the time to fiddle  
with things I don't understand (e.g. the terminal) in order to find  
out how Alpha does it.
