Hi,
One of the major barriers to adoption of TeXmacs is not technical at
all -- but rather has to do with peer pressure.
In the CS theory community for example, you are considered clueless if
you do not use TeX -- period! There is little interest in checking
out TeXmacs because -- even if it is better than TeX -- your peers
would look down on you if you like it! I don't know if this is out of
respect for Knuth or because the community is very conservative or
what.
Less and less people care about TeX, in fact, but
it takes time.
In any case, the use of TeXmacs grows because it
is used for other things than TeX, simply because
of the nice wysiwyg output. But its slow, thats all.
