I concur that ghostview/ghostscript make a better viewer than the one
from Adobe, but it is admittedly a matter of taste.

I offer that it is only by virtue of the facts that PostScript and PDF
are openly published standards and that viewers are available from
more than one source which make them acceptable as formats for
distributing FITS information.
