What feature exactly do you think of? I've used both and I don't have the feeling of something missing in LyX. Maybe some kind of 'autocompletion' on \langlatexmacronames would be cool, but that's about it IMNSHO. > ... and the symbolic math is much more complete. This is true, and this will stay so for a while I am afraid. It's a lot of grunt work to be done in this area, especially if one wants to be open for different CAS backends. > It was only their lack of innovation has allowed us to come that > allowed LyX to get that close ;) And probably LyX throwing some ballast over board, and getting a few active developers again. Which might be related somehow... Andre'
