I thought that Tim was working on having latex do both tangling and
weaving.  Am I misremembering, or did that direction die off?

There was some work done in that direction 
(see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.texmacs.devel/2653), but I
don't know if anything came of it.

But is tying down Axiom development to one editor a good idea?  (If it
is a good idea, TeXmacs seems like a reasonable choice.)
