I switched from (an early Slackware version of) TeX to the debian
version. So far, the only thing I found missing was dvi2tty, a renderer
that generates more-or-less straight text from the dvi, good for the
graphically impaired.
On the other hand, everything else has been wonderful, particularly with
the smooth interface provided by emacs and auctex. I'm a very happy user.
