From a mathematician's point of view (mine!), TeX is still the best
way of writing mathematics.  I am sure it also has much appeal to
computer scientists as it is a programming language allowing them
to roll their own document designs.  The old refrain still holds.  
What You See is What You Get really mean What You See is All You Get.
I have been using TeXtures for some time and although it is a bit
pricy, I have been getting my money's worth out of it.
