{How we try to make working with \TeX\ comfortable} {Hans Hagen} {Just as book and music production is under pressure, so is the way we produce documents. We're accustomed to instant rendering in browsers and even if \acro{WYSIWYG} is not that important when most of the time is spent on writing instead of messing with the look and feel, there is the comfort factor to keep in mind. The last few years I have spent quite some time on a comfortable edit-proofing cycle: from advanced syntax highlighting to fast rendering. Do such things matter and is it worth the effort?}
