The only area of importance I'm aware of is translations - there was
some work done a while back on making translations of the menus (and I
think possibly Greek characters as well) available in Xmaxima. If this
can be done for wxMaxima I am not aware of anything else I would
consider a significant advantage in Xmaxima. Lord knows the inline
plotting isn't good enough to be counted. I do prefer to have the
input point located in the document instead of as a separate area, but
that's certainly not a showstopper.
