    Compared to MathType, the LibreOffice formula editor is complete garbage. It's laughable to suggest this as a reasonable alternative.

    Radical Pie calls itself the "spiritual successor" to MathType. It has everything I loved about classic MathType, but it's updated with modern features and support.
