Yes, yes, there is peer pressure.
But as I said, it's not a major barrier to adoption
of TeXmacs, it's a major barrier to adoption *as a
replacement for LaTeX*.
But TeXmacs is very much used, and a big part
of its use (more than 50%, I would say) is on
its own, for the pure sake of writing documents,
not for generating LaTeX.
On the other hand, part of the criticism of
the guy is understandable, especially :
a. There is no complete emulation of LaTeX
inside TeXmacs (although nobody really
has time to implement that : but for
heavy LaTeX users, it is a problem) ;
b. The TeXmacs markup is not very well
editable in simple editors like emacs,
it looks much more like XML.
Although... of course you can export
your document to LaTeX, work on it
in emacs, and reimport it later in
TeXmacs, it works perfectly. But people
are perhaps not sufficiently informed
about this ;
c. Remains the non-availability of the LaTeX
styles problem, but this one will solve
itself with time, I guess...
