Changes http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/PamphletSyntax/diff -- As someone stated, TeXmacs allows Axiom sessions to be started and automatically captured into a document. It does not directly support literate programming and is harder to use than LyX. However, if you're an Emacs guru, you'll find it easier to learn than if you aren't. As far as a Windows port is concerned, if you can't get a recent native Windows version, it will run under Cygwin and is I think distributed as part of Cygwin.
LyX is quite a bit easier to use than TexMacs and does support literate programming. The R folks have hooked it up to their Sweave functionality that I described above, but to get the most out of LyX you'll need noweb anyway. They just released 1.5.0 a few days ago. I've been beta testing it for some time and it is close to becoming my editor of choice. About the only thing it *doesn't* do is the session initiation and capture that TeXmacs does. And there are still some things you'll need to do in shell scripts if you want to automate things. I think LyX is also distributed in Cygwin, and there is a native port as well. The native port requires a whole bunch of dependencies ... IIRC Tcl/Tk, Python, GTK, and of course MikTex. The installer will download those for you if it finds that you don't have them. So for my money, I'd go with LyX over TexMacs and either one of them over Leo. I've got a project I'm chipping away at in my free time called Rameau that integrates R, Ruby, LyX and GiNaC/CLN. I suppose I could add Axiom or some other "real CAS", but I really wanted to make it a scripting-language/math library tool set rather than an "application" as such. The last time I touched it seriously was about nine months ago, but I'm about to fire it up again.
