Ubuntu 9.04 and Latex: Frustration

Just a very short blog to express my frustration about using LaTeX under the new Ubuntu 9.04.
For general text editing, vi is perfect but when I do some LaTeX editing, I like using an IDE.
Here my experience under Ubuntu:
  • Texmaker: Every time you compile, the focus on the editor window ist lost and you cannot go on editing your file without closing the application an re-opening it.
  • Kile: Crashes every once in a while without any useful information about what happened, and of course you lose your modifications
  • Lyx: Nice but I just want a text editor and no wysiwyg
  • Emacs: keyboard shortcuts drive me crazy
Finally, I am reinstalling Ubuntu 8.10 where both Texmaker and Kile are working perfectly. No time to wait for some fixes.
