i agree completely. my biggest complaint with all the wysiwyg  type programs
is "what you see is ALL you get" (ie. no extensibility, very limited
customization possibilities, and too much clickity-clacking with the
mouse to do anything useful.).

incidently, a slightly improved version of CTeX is now available on
dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu in pub/StTeX. by popular request i have put 1M,
2M, and 4M binaries there (please dont mix their .fmt files. the 4M
binary will consume all of your 4Megs, so you may consider the 2M
binary instead). for a brief period there was a buggy version there.
if you have one of these, (\today will give you a crazy date. (thanks ed P))
please grab a  fresh binary (and delete time.c and time.h from the
CTeX source directory). the new binaries will undump more reliably.
