Comparisons and advocacy

I believe Blackboard uses the DesignScience WebEQ Equation Editor:

Hi George, BB has an equation editor, but few of our faculty use it.

I'm not a mathematician, but our math profs. report that it is very error prone.

It also appears fairly resource intensive, and tends to crash durning use.

A user friendly flash interface to the tex engine would be a nice thing, IMO.
