I've used mostly kword with kformula for my homework. It's really good if
you like wysiwyg formula editor. It's still a little buggy though, and you
need to download and setup it's math fonts yourself.
I had problems using OpenOffice's formula editor because i used a hebrew
locale that caused it to mirror the user interface, and only recently i
found out that if i run OpenOffice with an LTR locale, the formula editor is
working fine. You have to learn it's syntax though.

Subject: Good office suite with powerful formulas?
I'm currently using Open-Office whenever I can, but I am still stuck with
QText on Windows for my homework, and the headache is because my powerfull
formula editor (MathType 5.0 - big brother of Equation Editor
3.0) does not have a good replacement in Open Office. Truth is, OpenOffice's
equation editor does not begin to compare.
So, I'm looking for either a good replacement for OpenOffice (I know about
Jex, but as of 3-4 months ago it wasn't very close either), or a different
Office suite with Hebrew support that will have a better formula editor.
I've heard good things about KOffice.
If I won't find a good one, I'll have to stop doing my homework and start
writing an equation editor :)
So, I'll appreciate your comments on this. Thanks.
Oh, BTW - Is anything as easy to use in Hebrew as QText?
