I find TeXmac's equation editor to be an even faster WYSIWIG UI than LyX's.

For example, a λ is just 'l'+tab.

Simarly, you can cycle through other symbols. For b: b->β->

Sadly, TeXmacs hasn't gotten as much love as it deserves: I find it way better than jupyter at producing notebooks/papers that involve math, interactive code, and prose.

Ouch, no Ubuntu package since Vivid? The screenshots look OK... is this worth building from source?
