Re: Lyx with typein
> This is my personal opinion. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about Lyx, it does not give me any speed up at all to build TeX file. It's quite limited also. But more importantly thing that worries me is that there seems to be very little support behind LyX, project looks dying to me. Please, please tell me that I am wrong, after all I would love good interface around TeX.
dying???? It's very close to releasing 1.0, and the volume on the
developer's list is at the highest level in the three years or so that
I've been following it. The current release is 1.0pre6.
Lot's of new features, and a couple of pieces that weren't in time to
freeze (mail merge & literate programming [whatever that is :) ]) as
contrib's.
There isn't much that's commonly needed that isn't supported, and you
can toss in any latex you need. The current version of reLyX
apparently will import most latex (i've never had a reason to use it).
The only things left on my wishlist are either minor, or limitations
from latex (getting multiple floating .eps on the same page seems to be
a lost cause . . .). But then, i coded in the fixes for my two biggest
peeves, so . . . :)
