pdflatex has _no_ bugs! And it is still the better way than dvipdfm. For example: you get no hyphenated links with dvipdfm
This is really courageous statement -- unfortunately, I am afraid not
very much correct. Contrary to the original TeX it is still in the
process of development and so there are occassionally some bugs (one
of them causes for example PDF files from pdflatex to be much bigger
than dvips-ps2pdf ones).
also nonsense. You are comparing apples with pears. pdflatex enbedds the fonts often by default, ps2pdf not. And if I use vTeX/Free then my file is smaller than the one from ps2pdf.
but far from being bugfree. And no, I do not like dvipdfm (I do not see any reason why to use it), but if I need small and compact PDF file, I use dvips-ps2pdf way.
I use VTeX for Linux, where I can have any PostScript stuff, like code from pstricks, psfrag ...
