Am I the only one that doesn't mind opening up pdfs in evince?
Sure, when I used Acrobat, pdfs used to be slow and annoying and hard to highlight, etc. But it really seems like a problem that stopped existing a couple years ago.

Most Mac users would probably rather use the built-in PDF libraries, which form the basis of Mac OS X's graphics system. They are well implemented, fast, and work great without the mess of plugin chrome you get from Adobe Reader. And the output looks great.
It's all about preventing people from needing to context-switch into application-switching and file management just to view a document.
But yeah, I guess if OS X has good built in pdf support, why not use it, so I can see the appeal on those grounds.
