I am really interested in the specific advantages MathCAD had/has, and the problems you see with cells and being in a web browser.

why? how is the web not up to this?
- gaius 8y agothe problems you see with cells and being in a web browser. My end goal is a document, and for that I either want a programmer-grade text editor, or a full-featured word processor. Filling in a web form is a terrible way to write a document. My tool of choice at the moment is RStudio - all the interactivity you could possibly ask for, and very easy to edit complex files then render them to a great-looking PDF with the output of my code interspersed with paragraphs of text, footnotes and TOC and all the rest.
