*wow* This definately has some little issues that I don't like (for example, typing "in", which you might want to be the product i*n), but this looks good and works very well. Also, it's very fast.
For the record: I will *never* use any interface that requires me to use the mouse for non-trivial input, except for paint programs (well... I guess, if somebody wanted to pay me $100 and hour to do so...), and I won't inflict such interfaces on others. DragMath is a dead end, in my mind. This is a very nice start.
