Hi,

I'm using lyx and texmacs concurrently on my linux box.  These programs were  
designed for the different purposes.

this is not an argument for me I think that texmacs is very well integrated 
to 
my desktop because I'm able to do lengthy   calculations with help of maxima 
interface inside texmacs. I'm used to exporting the final results to tex and 
then importing them to lyx ;-).  I'm using lyx for writing the scientific 
papers because it produces less messy tex files in exporting documents to 
latex.

May be, however, the easiest way to do something is always related with 
personal acquirement.

texmacs is much better to me in this case because it combines the notebook 
style with perfect output of mathematical expression. Both things are'nt  
available  with wxmaxima.

At last, I don't understand the idea behind your message.
