Hi!
I work on a better implementation of math macros for some time now.
Accidently I was playing around with some screencast tools and made a
demonstration of the current state of the system:

Make the video fullscreen to see what's going on. Mainly it shows the
design choice how math macros look to the user, like the possibility
to fold/unfold, add and removing parameters greedily and
non-greedily, and the flexibility coming from position awareness of
the macro definitions, including support for master documents.
That's a bit complicated at first glance but it sure looks *impressive*.
What exactly is complicated?
One missing bit still is the macro creation, some menu command or
toolbar button. This "\newcommand..."+C-m is non-intuitive.
In the same way some nice icon in a toolbar could make modification of
macros easier. The add/remove param commands are too deep in the menu.
But that was not my focus. Making them easier accessible is trivial.
Yes, all of that gives the feeling of complicatedness ;-)
