Hey guys, I'm a structural turned software engineer and I'm building a mathcad-ish alternative (primarily due to the lack of care and innovation PTC's shown for the software). I'm really curious about the things you love or hate about the software. Maybe PTC can also see this thread and then I can go back to just using mathcad lol. For me:

Awesome
- handling units
- displaying/typing math in a really natural way

Not awesome
- lack of integration points with my other tools
- no sketches
- PTC hasn't done anything really great to improve the software in like 10+ years

SW, I think Calculate in Word Add-in does live math directly in Word, so it's possibly somewhat better than embedding a live Mathcad sheet inside of Word, which used to be possible in M11 or so, since MC can't do that anymore.
