the stability and usability of the application. Besides this, it also

I've been using LyX on Mac for over a year now, after I gave up on Microsoft Word for Mac and NeoOffice and OpenOffice. There is a bit of a learning curve, though less than with LaTeX. The program is small, fast, and stable. The developers' team is so responsive and down-to-earth that they sometimes implement features upon users' request within a few weeks (though it depends on the feature, of course). I'd recommend LyX to anyone who is not afraid of reading a manual or two, but it's not for fans of Clippy.
Good tool for slide production

Have used long term (Linux, Windows and Mac). Recent versions have become more and more Mac-like. Produces good looking consistent documents effectively after getting over the learning curve. Check out Beamer for creating PDFs for slide shows.

The download link does work - at least, it takes you to the developer's website, where you can currently download both PPC and Intel versions of the app. And for those who don't want to fiddle with teTex installations, further down the developer's website are instructions, along with a link to MacTex, which carries out the whole teTex installation from a single OS X disk image. Which so far has worked just fine for me, no fuss or bother at all. Looking forward to trying the app out now…
