SWP IS NOT MORE WYSIWYG THAN LYX! IN FACT -- WITH INSTANT PREVIEW, LYX IS MORE WYSWIG THAN SWP AS I REALIZED YESTERDAY! BUT: SWP IS MORE LATEX THAN LYX --- LYX NEEDS ITS OWN FORMAT AND OFTEN DOES IMPERFECT LATEX CODE WHILE THE PORTABLE LATEX DOES REALLY GOOD CODE! IN COMPARISON TO SWP, LYX LACKS - good integration of computer algebra - nice toolbars (replace the math panel) - better latex integration AND IT SHOULD FLY NICELY. PERSONAL WISH: DON'T FORGET US OS X PEOPLE! -Jan
