I also have made 3-letter fragments for the most common math and logic symbols. For example, I can type iab in math mode to get an integral sign with lower limit a and upper limit b. It also allows users to create fragments and automatic substitution for additional symbols. One additional comment: SWP is very good about having simple keystroke shortcuts for most commands and math symbols. If LyX is more difficult than MathType or Word Equation editor, I'll definitely be waiting a while for LyX to catch up. Compared to SWP, these are so awkward as to be completely impractical most of my work.
I noticed some comments above about the putative ease of equation editing in MathType or Word Equation editor.
I wish that the authors of LyX would include the features of SWP lacking in LyX.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford to upgrade to SWP6. It will run natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it will incorporate Windows native commands. However, SWP6 is due to come out very soon and, as far as I can tell, ALL the problems mentioned and more are addressed. All the complaints mentioned above about SWP apply to this thru all versions of 5. My copy is dated 1998, 13 years ago, and it runs well on XP (I believe it also runs on Windows Vista and 7). MuPAD 5, a computer algebra engine, is integrated within Scientific Workplace to allow users to perform correct formatted computations and print them out. This user-friendly word processor combines mathematics and text on the same platform. I believe that it was quite advanced for its time. Scientific WorkPlace streamlines writing, sharing, and typesetting mathematical and scientific text. If the first point was implemented in a way that editing equations in Lyx could beat editing equations in MathType, there would be tons of people switching. I love what you guys are doing and LyX has truly become amazing. I hope this will not cost me any friends. The page is mirrored on my homepage and can be found here. Ever since 1.4.0, I have the feeling that the time will be very soon. I have not switched to Lyx for good yet but use it on and off. While LyX improves at an incredible rate (expecially given its few but very hard-working developers), SWP has been fairly stagnant. I have tried all kinda replacements where LyX is probably the most prominent but the list is much longer. which barely runs in today's classic environment.

I even own a version for Mac OS 9 which I bought over ebay.
#SCIENTIFIC WORKPLACE 6 MAC PC#
However, I am very unhappy that SWP has *only* a windows version which runs okayish under Linux+Wine but to date I can only run it below Virtual PC with Windows NT (it hurts!) on my facorite computer, i.e., a Mac. I have been using Scientific Workplace (SWP) since my first year at Technical University of Munich in 1996 and I remain a big fan of it to date.
