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.

currently, the support is very (very..) poor

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.
