Fascinating piece of software. I used to use it a lot. The math input keys were nice once I got used to them. And WYSIWYG editing with a LaTeX-quality view is kind of spectacular.

The keyboard shortcuts for math input are so nice! I have tried Lyx and Mathtype, and still found GNU TeXmacs better.

I used this for writing two books. Nice stuff, but I have simplified my writing workflow using leanpub.com - simple markdown but you can still embed formulas, etc.

I heard LIGO was done on jupyter (ex ipython notebook IIRC) though.

What does that have to do with typesetting a publication?

I thought TeXmacs had was an ancestor of notebook-like exploration and not only a formatting system.
