I know the power of emacs and use it for many things (btw you should
also mention preview-latex when advocating it ;) and where did x-symbol
end?) but when I compile documents it seems a pain to go to the next
error and similar. I _know_ that I can learn it because I use it for
coding, but it's not your tipical user interface. Kile is very good in
covering the needs of ex-texnic-center users and has very comfortable
facilities (e.g. the completion for user-defined commands and for
bibliography).

Synctex changes the pagination of the document AFAIK, and apart from
that, my post is about... what to do while we wait! I have NO doubts
that both okular and evince will one day be perfect for texing. Evince
is for pdfs right now. Just it still can't reliably print a pdf (since
years). The patch is in gnome so it will hopefully be in karmic BTW.
