Many people are confused by the name though.
What would be a better name for this WYSIWYG scientific/math word processor with output comparable to TeX/LaTeX?
P.S. I’m not a TeXmacs developer but I am a fan.
There are already excellent TeX modes available for Emacs without using a standalone application.
Despite being a Emacs and TeX user, I must admit that I have no clear idea of what this strangely named thing is.
And since it sounds like it implements parts of both, probably poorly if the bizarre naming is any indication of other development decisions, I have no inclination to explore it.
He doesn't need to get any grief over this, he needs our help moving forwards.
