I too join you Sridhar. With my emacs, auctex and reftex setup, it
goes pretty well rather than depending on menus and mouse clicks to
insert a symbol. If at all I need a preview like or WYSIWYG
appearance, I will go for David Kastrup's preview latex which does the
wonderful job of showing the previews instantaneously within emacs
without wasting the screen estate. In essence Emacs have the
facilities of the most powerful editor and advantages of previews.
