There is a difference I can see. I'm only using version v1.0.0.1, and
I'm a mathematics person, so maybe I'm particular, but the interline
spacing is often too small in TeXmacs. There are some other issues
with accents, too.

It's miles better than a word-processor, and not a bad typesetter, but
there are details that Knuth et al. have smoothed out over the last 20
years. I think we'll get there too.
