And see point #1 here (provides evidence of peer pressure):
Yes, yes, there is peer pressure. But as I said, it's not a major barrier to adoption of TeXmacs, it's a major barrier to adoption *as a replacement for LaTeX*. But TeXmacs is very much used, and a big part of its use (more than 50%, I would say) is on its own, for the pure sake of writing documents, not for generating LaTeX. On the other hand, part of the criticism of the guy is understandable, especially : a. There is no complete emulation of LaTeX inside TeXmacs (although nobody really has time to implement that : but for heavy LaTeX users, it is a problem) ; b. The TeXmacs markup is not very well editable in simple editors like emacs, it looks much more like XML. Although... of course you can export your document to LaTeX, work on it in emacs, and reimport it later in TeXmacs, it works perfectly. But people are perhaps not sufficiently informed about this ; c. Remains the non-availability of the LaTeX styles problem, but this one will solve itself with time, I guess... _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
