This is I ask to you... what kind of users will be expected to uses
TeXmacs?

If you need TeXmacs to be used by broad range of users-background (I
suppose the mathematicians/physician no more than 15% of total bacground).
This kind of people will easy to learn TeXmacs, the others are probably
difficults... (my expectation). The simple argument is that not many
people are willing to spend their time to learn a new program... They
prefer to use more intuitive program, like Word, OOffice, AbiWord, etc.

For complicated equation, TeXmacs is better than LaTeX like what Joris
wrote in another e-mail. I have written an equation in LyX with bad
result and asked to people in LyX or TUG milist without solution...
