I just entered an equation, theta := pi/4. Maple returned 1/4 pi. I know that's the same, but not the way I'd expect to see it. In Mathcad, I can put anything I want (OK, no ice cream flavors ;-) ) to the right of the result, and the result is then re-displayed in those units. It isn't without a few peculiarities of its own, but I'd like to see pi/4, not 1/4 pi.

I have to keep moving my hands to the arrow keys to move in the numeric fields. For example, suppose that I am in the exponent and I want to drop down for the next operation. My hands are already on the space bar, and it is natural to want to use my thumbs. I understand that this might mean that I couldn't use space for implicit multiplication, but I don't want to use that nearly as often as I want to move in the numeric field, and I am most likely to use hard coded multiply anyway. Erring on the side of caution and all that.

I have a passing acquaintance with Maple 12, and looked forward to Maple 13 to see what improvements there might be. I began by creating a document based on a style that I created in Maple 12. Maybe that gives rise to some of the questions highlighted in this document. Does anyone care to comment?

Pardon me if you find this difficult to read; it is my first attempt to use the MaplePrimes files interface.
