LaTeX softwares comparison

I have been spending three days searching and trying softwares to write my assignment. Below are the results of my finding.


  • Scientific Workplace 5.5 is for those who don't know and it is a true WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) kind of document processor. However, the final output (pdf file) is quite dissappointing. The font is too small!
  • LEd (LaTeX Editor) is a freeware but not for beginners. Users need to work with mathematical syntax.
  • TeXnicCenter is quite identical with LEd. It is free but not intuitive for beginners.
  • LyX is the kind of document processor which I was looking for. It is free and doesn't require users to know the syntax beforehand.

Finally, I also found a useful website with a collection of other related websites which provide solution to publish equation on web page or blog.
