The discussion revolves around the search for paid TeX editors that offer a user experience similar to MS Office Word, particularly in the context of preparing documents for graduate studies. Participants explore various software options, their features, and usability in comparison to traditional word processors.
Participants express a mix of preferences for different TeX editors and approaches to using LaTeX, with no clear consensus on the best solution. Some advocate for the simplicity of word processors, while others emphasize the benefits of LaTeX despite its complexities.
Participants highlight the varying levels of comfort and experience with LaTeX, which may influence their preferences for specific editors. The discussion reflects differing opinions on the trade-offs between ease of use and the quality of output.
MathematicalPhysicist said:I prefer something that will let me type like a word processor, without all the hassle of writing the code myself, which is quite irritating, and time consuming (for me at least).
D H said:Besides, Word bites.
D H said:Have you worked with LaTeX? It doesn't look like it.
Hmmm. I tend to macroize my math, heavily.fatra2 said:This is the reason why I believe in one very important rule in LaTex that will always give outstanding results: stick to the basis. Write your code using most, if not only, the basics rules of LaTeX, think about what you want to write without worrying about the output.
The time derivative of the inertial-to-body attitude quaternion is
(see section \ref{sec:quat_time_deriv})
\begin{equation}
\QBIdot = \QxQ{\quatsv 0 {-\frac 1 2 {\framerelvect B \omega I B}}} {\QBI}
