I actually think that the best current interface for Maxima is imaxima under
emacs. All others have their faults: the next best looking is Maxima in
TeXmacs, except that it seems to run very slowly. For me, the perfect GUI
would have the look and feel of imaxima, without relying on the emacs engine
underneath. I think that using TeX to format and display mathematical
output is a very good idea - the output of xmaxima and wxmaxima has a
slightly ad hoc feel about it.
