What is TeXmacs?
GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content (text, graphics, mathematics, interactive content, etc.). The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop.
The software includes a text editor with support for mathematical formulas, a small technical picture editor and a tool for making presentations from a laptop. Moreover, TeXmacs can be used as an interface for many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using the Scheme extension language. A native spreadsheet and tools for collaborative authoring are planned for later.

- xbones reviewed TeXmacsxbTeXmacs is a word processor which is easy to use (like Word) but which produces professional output(like TeX or LaTeX). It won't corrupt your documents nor do any harm to footnotes, indexes or tables of contents. It's a good substitute for EXP, Scientific Word or LyX. In addition to creating books or other documents, you can design drawings, calculate in tables and have access to mathematical software like Maxima.
cossio thinks Overleaf is an alternative to TeXmacs
caiocco removed TeXmacs as alternative(s) to WPS Writer
TeXmacs is wonderful, easy to use and very suitable for CS or Math students.

Although the name suggests it, neither TeX nor Emacs is required to get it compiled and running. TeXmacs is self-contained but needs guile-gtk for the interface. TeXmacs is in the overworks, and much of the internas (switching to cairo, etc.) and interface will change in the near future.
