Most people nowadays would produce .pdf files from LaTeX. I use LuaLaTeX myself but I'm sure there are alternatives. I haven't looked at a .dvi for years. I remember they're very quick to page through multi-page documents, but graphic includes were a problem. I've standardised on .pdf and .png for including in documents, and .pdf for all output. I rely on tools like pdftk and pdfjam for juggling, shuffling, bursting, collating, scaling, passwords, etc. Anyone can read/print/manipulate my documents with no expenses/special tools. Anything (like paps) that produces PostScript goes straight through ps2pdf - - Cheers, David.
