TeXmacs is a powerful software but not so user-friendly for normal users, since it behaves differently from most of other softwares in Windows or Linux. To make it more easy to use, at least the following things may be done:

- Change default keyboard shortcuts to Windows/MacOSX style instead of Emacs style
- Show real keyboard shortcut like Win+X or Cmd+X instead of Meta+X on menu items
- When page width is less than window width, show page content in window center
- When some content is selected, the color and background color should be changed
- Popup menu changes according to texmacs mode and shows only relative items
- Add a tabbar for showing  all document names when multi documents are opened
- Frequently used icons such as "Save" in main toolbar should not have dropdown menu
- When saving a new buffer, show "Save as" windows instead of "interactive prompt"
- Recently opened directory should be remembered by "Load" and "Save as" windows
- When printing a document, show a printing window just like other softwares
- When Prompting unsaved document, show an three-button "Yes-No-Cancel" dialog
- Combine "Add package" and "Remove package" menus using check and uncheck items

I'm learning scheme/guile and will try my best to make some patches to texmacs. Hope you are interested.
