For ages its author did not want to release a free version.

Right. But now he has released a cost-free version; it
would be nice to be able to get a bound version.

Also Texmacs has been highly misleading because it has no
relation to either Tex or Emacs.

It typesets like TeX, it is configurable like Emacs. But
regardless, the name reflects the inspiration and isn't
supposed to indicate what it is. It takes a lot of work
to consider it to be misleading, and if you work hard
enough many names are misleading; Firefox has
neither fire nor is it a fox, for example, and as far as I
know isn't inspired by either.
