Thanks for the reply.
Actually, I do know about the pdf options, and I agree that dvipdf is only a small extra step. But I really like the way xdvi works as compared with Preview -- it refreshes with a single keystroke, and is very fast.
If working with pdf, I would actually recommend xpdf over Preview -- assuming you're running X11, that is. It self-updates with a single keystroke, like xdvi.
I dislike TeXShop for the same reasons as you (I use emacs too, but under X11 -- courtesy fink).
If you're using X11, I would strongly recommend you try xpdf. And I think xdvi is even better (if you can get it to work; if you do, let me know!)
