Texmacs has this wonderfull(the word is not enaugh !) interface to CAS and specially sagemath, because I don't like notebook at the moment. For maxima there is wxmaxima (not as pretty rendering as texmacs) but already very good, python plugin as well. But as I change often, I can put a sagemath session and a maxima session ... And other ones !
Recently texmacs user told me how to embedd automatically graphics in sagemath and then this was the revelation : save('') ps_out('').
I am getting many english tutorial about cas and making a french pot pourit with them, some are really astonishing : schwarzchild potential, planck constante...
Thanks to all who accomplish this...
(Between I just discovered ipython qtconsole...)

I've said that a lot, but to me the most amazing TeXmacs feature is in the
shortcuts and visual feedback.

I can enter LaTeX very well in Vim, and in LyX as well, but the shortcuts in
TeXmacs are so intuitive -- working by similar-looking characters with the
Tab key is a genius move -- that I always feel like a donkey trying to type
when I manually enter LaTeX.

Yes, you can interface it with other things, but I have to say I've never
used that feature. TeXmacs is primarily a document editor for me, so I almost
always export my graphics manually from other programs.

Cool!

I think, though, that the description of both needs to try to get at
the differences between the two. As it currently stands, one could use
the description of either TeXmacs/Lyx, and use it for the other one.

Also, I think TeXmacs isn't anymore an "interfaces to many Computer
Algebra Systems". Look through the list... octave, R, python, (btw,
where is shell and gnuplot in that list?)
I'm not sure what to call it. One could say "as a front end to almost
any program" (???)

There is a new site for subjective questions to be dealt with in an
structured fashion, and there's one question (that I posted) that concerns
TeXmacs:

You're welcome to chime in and help improve the description of TeXmacs
there.

Best,
