Skim has some great feature regarding creating notes and so on...

Would it also be possible to use TeXShop with pdfsync? I write all my  
stuff with TextMate and it's amazing. Afterwards I typeset it with  
TeXShop. Now it would be great if I could jump easily between the pdf  
and the source.

Thanks
