I used TeXtures extensively in the past under OS 9, and as of this version there is more than enough in the new version to get me to upgrade. The speed is excellent, flash mode works like a dream and I only miss the "go to error" and "go to line" features to be completely happy with it.
Those who have not tried this but who are in fact power users of TeX and need it to be fast, trouble-free, easy to install and user-oriented for large-scale production work should try this. Once it gets out of beta I expect it to be the TeX installation of choice for those who need all of the above features. (Not knocking the freeware implementations, but those who were power users of TeX in the past and who had gotten used to the feature set of TeXtures will know what I am talking about in terms of what it brings to the table.)

I've used Textures to create a book, many manuscripts, and thousands of lecture slides. For me, Textures is an indispensable tool. This release adds to Textures' functionality. The one feature that I need and that isn't in 2.2.0 yet is support for hyperref.
I am happy with the new version in most respects; Flashmode certainly is fast. However, scrolling through the typeset (PDF) window in the new version is different. It can only display one page at a time. In particular, when what I am working on reaches the bottom of one page, I cannot display the bottom of that page and the top of the next at the same time. This is very annoying.
Apparently, this affects Flashmode. It works great within a page, but when I reach the bottom of a page, the PDF window continues to display the previous page when what I am entering is on the next page. If I hit page down, the new page is displayed, but the previous one is not. Usually, this is right in the middle of a sentence!
In classic Textures, you can display the bottom of one page and the top of the next simultaneously, and Flashmode works properly. There is nothing inherent in PDF that prevents scrolling in the desired manner, and I have another LaTeX text editor (TeXShop) that does so.
Please bring back the way scrolling and Flashmode work in classic textures.
I will withhold awarding stars for now.
