This is obviously a few years old; the guy still has a point about
ergonomics but I don't have any problems with PDF files on Linux today.
The huge advantage PDF has over PS that it's searchable and accomodates
bitmap graphics with decent compression. Put a 300dpi A5-size JPEG into
a TeX document and run it through pdfTeX---and then convert it to PS...
For something that prints nicely and is still accessible, there is just
no usable alternative.
