I basically need this only for editing slides in Keynote that contain mathematical expressions.
One thing that would make upgrading worth the additional fee would be Keynote iPad compatibility. Currently there is none. I tried manually installing all the fonts, and converting their non-truetype fonts into truetype first, and then installing these on my iPad using AnyFont.app. Still no joy.
I'm now making all new slides using LaTex. I just typeset the equation, compile a PDF, and then cut and paste. (TexFog is a handy free app that makes this easy).
If you don't need iOS compatibility, and don't mind being chained to the paid upgrade cycles, the software performs well, and the ease of use (which I gave 5 stars) is its strongest point. (You don't need to use LaTex or any other markup language.) It is reasonably feature-rich (I gave 4 stars due to lack of iOS compatibility).
The other rather civilized aspect is that you can make slides using the trial version, and they will still work even after the trial expires, as the application makes its fonts available to the system.

They stated that they are finishing their work on v6.0 of MathType for Windows this year, and that they anticipate a release of v6.0 for Mac in 2008.
I know that it will be a long wait. But, when released, I would expect it to be compatible with a new Microsoft Office suite.

• Causes InDesign to hang when long strings (15 characters plus) are placed.
• Does not retain CMYK settings, but reverts to RGB, turning my K100 black into a 4-colour black.
• The title field in the save dialogue occasionally lumps all characters in one space, making the saving process nearly impossible.
Wrote to vendor, but is completely unresponsive.
