Re:Mathify – Simple Text Equation to LaTeX

That's what I was confused about. This is almost exactly LaTeX. The major difference is no "\". And it adds unneeded \left, \right, and just braces everywhere.
The biggest differences is in this example, I looked at all of them:
f'(x) = lim_{h -> 0} {f(x+h) - f(x)}/h
vs
f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}
While the code it produces is way more than needed. See [1] for the crap it produces.
The key differences here are "\", "->" instead of "\to" (which \to makes more sense to me), and "/" instead of "\frac{}{}" (which I'll give to Mathify). But because LaTeX supports a lot more there is no question which one is actually easier.

[1] {f'{ \left( x \right) } = \lim _{{h \to 0}} \frac{{f{ \left( x+h \right) } - f{ \left( x \right) }}}{h}}
