Agreed. What's your configuration for this simple purpose? What I can
think of is something like the following:
;; Split windows horizontally and display the PDF and TeX source side-by-side
(setq split-width-threshold 1000)
(add-hook 'TeX-after-compilation-finished-functions
#'(lambda () (pdf-tools-deactivate-strip)))
Any enhancements/comments will be appreciated.
