Default microsfot to work on a tex editor

What "market"? The overwhelming majority of what you mention ‹ plus most of
what you don't ‹ is freeware in the first place. And almost every user's
preference/opinion differs.

Let's assume that MS was willing to invest the necessary time & money in
developing, marketing, distributing & supporting such a product... Would you
be willing to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $400-$600/copy?

I don't understand. Out there are numerous tex editors such as winedt, led,
texmacs, scientific word, lyx, etc....
Why MS does not enter to that market and make a kicking tex ediyor for
creating latex documents?
All the academics are looking for a user friendly tex editor. And there is
hardly a good one out there.
