Not me (but this does not matter as I am not using the built-in
AUCTeX). I think it's more reasonable to use the script texdoc as
viewer for all output formats that do not address "source specials"
or that are not meant to meat a particular paper format (because xdvi
cannot see which size and orientation a TeX document has in DVI which
does not record this information – and so Mac OS X "DVI" viewers like
TeXShop or TeXniscope also fail to convert them to PDF appropriately).
The reason: texdoc is a valuable script to find (texdoc -l <name>) or
to view (texdoc <name>) TeX documentation, which can come in DVI, PS,
PDF, HTML, TXT format. Once texdoc has been customised to one's
preferences: why do this boring thing again in AUCTeX?! Isn't it more
reasonable to re-use the splendid texdoc? Well, I do ...
