I think this must depend either on what you are most familiar with, or on what you expect. For me, creating and editing equations in LyX is more pleasant than doing the same with MathType. (As with other users, I tend to mostly use keyboard shortcuts, relying on the math panel only for uncommon things that I don't remember.) At least for me, MathType seems to require more use of the mouse, and more manual "tweaking" to get things to look right. I have a wide screen, so I like having the math panel off to the side, rather than in a toolbar at the top. But that might not be optimal for others. ....dave case
