Well, Preview is is the default PDF reader in OS X because Preview is far, far superior to Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader, which has become atrocious bloatware. Preview launches quickly and renders pages quickly -- like, about *ten times* faster than Adobe Reader 6. On the other hand, Adobe Reader features exciting advertisements for eBooks.
Preview also opens PDFs in a three-inch window (in Panther on my machine), which I have to resize manually every time. I can't find a way to change this behaviour.
And bloatware or not, I sometimes need the special features in Reader. I agree that it is slow and, well, slow.
And speaking of Panther (and OSX in general) I have been using almost exclusively Panther for the last month, (after resisting for a long time) and I can't understand one aspect of the interface. The green button you see in the upper left hand corner of the window is supposed to be the Maximise button. Yet I get all kinds of strange window sizes when I click it (depending on the app), many of which could not logically be called "Maximum" size. Safari, for example, will NOT grow to screen size on an empty window. Preview simply moves the tiny window to the upper left of my screen. How is this button supposed to function?
