That is something we will have to consider, but the current way is just
counter intuitive, not only that inserting a formula is deeply hidden
behind multiple level menus, but also editing a formula switches to a
completely different UI causing much disruption IMO (and the need to
click a formula to edit it is just annoying). I don't mind keeping Math
as separate competent, but we need a more integrated math editing that
what we have now.
BTW, I'm wondering how using MathML (or more generally ODF objects) is related to this GSOC idea:

I'm not really sure to understand to which "fields" the proposal refers, but my idea was to use MathML everywhere in LibreOffice Writer.
