I've downloaded the beta and played for 5 minutes. First remarks and thoughts:
- When the realtime typesetting works it is impressive. For example, changing the coordinates in a tikz picture results in almost immediate change of the PDF. And command / environment auto-completion is very smooth, very well done.
- However, the typesetter can get stuck and this happened for me in the first try. I am aware it is only the first public beta so I guess things will improve.
- Please, oh please, can any specialized TeX editor reproduce the following feature I have setup in Emacs? In the editor (not live preview) display standard mathematical symbols as symbols and not as commands. For example, make \alpha appear as α or \int appear as ∫. This is so nice that I hesitate moving to other tex editors because I know I will miss it.
