I was the person who posted a month or 2 ago, and I have tried a beta version.
But I cannot claim to be an expert on the program, although I liked it well enough
to order a copy (through a university site licence - I think the cost is about
$125Can or something like that - it depends on the number of copies ordered).
I liked the interface a lot, and it is very easy to use.  It is NOT wysiwyg
in the sense that you see exactly what the file will look like after it's 
compiled, but you DO see a good version, including all symbols etc.  It comes
with its own style files and you can configure it to a large extent.  The 
company claims that you can do anything in SciWord that you can do in LaTeX, 
including introducing new fonts such as the AMS fonts, and that it is also 
compatible with OS/2 2.0.
If anyone is interested I can post their address; don't have it at hand at the
moment.   Carl Riehm.
P.S. It is a complete package, containing Latex, printer drivers, fonts, and
a good dvi viewer.  One thing I should have mentioned above is that all the 
latex math symbols are available from drop down menus, and as well there is a
"button bar" on which you can stick your favorites for even easier access.
