Hello,
The main strength of TeXmacs is not its UI but rather its WYSIWYG editing of high quality math documents.
So why not hide the UI by default so this main strength is more obvious to everyone?
What do you mean?
I'm not sure we have to go along with every single comment in social networks from people which never tried the program. You cannot please everyone. Maybe more "fancy" icons would attract "fancy" people. But then what?
First impressions matter. If the UI is not considered particularly innovative, then why not hide it and focus on what makes TeXmacs amazing?
Also, many people find always visible UI elements distracting. It’s better to focus on the document itself and only show UI elements as needed.
AmirIf somebody come by with nice replacements to the icons, I think Joris would be the first to adopt them.
