>Unless there have been good WYSIWIG tools developped for TeX,
>the problem for many people is that it is annoying to type and
maintain mark-up codes.
There are a couple of WYSIWYG tools for TeX, all in more or less
constant development.
>Many people find WYSIWIG programs (e.g, Word, WordPerfect,
>PageMaker, FrameMaker, Ventura) easier to work with because
>they see more immediately the effects of their mark-up
Another important reason are tools for revision and document
maintenance. TeX lacks many of these tools,. Those it does have
tend to be less developed than in WYSIWYG
