On the Teaching College Math blog, Maria Andersen has several links to some pretty good "how to" videos on MathType. One of the videos that particularly relates to this thread (and many of the 800 comments!) is the claim that LaTeX is faster than MathType, or the claim that MathType really isn't any better or faster than Equation Editor. In the post, Maria issues a challenge to anyone who wants to take her on, to type a sample document (which is linked from the post) faster with LaTeX than she can do it with MathType. She links to a video showing how fast she did it in MathType. (BTW, so far no one's accepted the challenge.)
