I don't know TeX at all.  And I'm not eager to learn.

I now prefer tex->dvi->ps->pdf because:

- less Makefile machinery
  Don't forget the case of pictures that need to be provided in two
  formats

- less temp files

- the same output in both cases (it appears that pdflatex and latex
  don't use the same algorithms

- support for pstricks and all the packages that use it!
