Hi,
I think that the choice of default gui for maxima is crucial only for windows
users. Let's they decide. On linux we are able to use all interfaces. I'm
personally think that emacs-maxima-mode is the best interface. For the output
to latex again emaxima and of course texmacs that give a widely choice of
output formats.
Currently, wxmaxima, perhaps is the best for beginners and for casual use.
However, the user need a good editor (e.g., syntax highlighting and etc) to
write a program. Is there any plan to develop wxmaxima in this direction?
Also, I think that including wxmaxima to the maxima project will help to
develop this promising interface further.
all the best
Valery
