It uses an up-to-date TeX distribution, has pdfTeX, micro-typography,  
and XeTeX, i.e., direct PDF creation. It's supported. For free, both  
acquisition and support. And it's not Classic. Which, I think, is not  
supported on modern intel hardware. No need to find, fetch, and  
install particular packages, in TeX Live even some batteries (very  
good fonts, ADF Venturis) are included. Update management!! Hundreds  
of knowledgeable members on mailing lists without ads for a  
particularly male public.

Keeping it for a while on disk in order to being able to copy this or  
that file.

No droplets. Suffering from instead of dancing the time-warp.
