Hello,

First I wanted to send the link I broke. After that, here is a longer answer.

I disagree. As far I know, TeXmacs was designed to be a scientific document 
processor, not a GUI for math software. You can use it as GUI and it's a 
great bonus.

I'm lost here. I don't think that desk integration is related to the 
possibility of doing calculations. I was thinking about the messages of the 
last weekend.

wxMaxima provides a lot of help for beginners and the output is not so bad. 
Anyway, I thing that TeXmacs is a better GUI than wxMaxima if you use Maxima 
frequently.

I think you do better than you think. The evidence is you use Lyx to write 
documents and TeXmacs just as GUI for math.
