Yes, there might be a flash of non-typeset content, perhaps even more 
than just a flash. I've got used to it.

Whichever you are more used to. LaTeX is widely used in math, MathML 
might be more natural to a person or too, and AsciiMath is suitable if 
you have just some simple equations and don't know LaTeX much.

Who knows? But being open source and widely used, I would expect someone 
to take it over if the people currently working on it stop doing that. 
And even if not, you could still keep using the code. So I'd say it's 
much safer to use than most software.

No.
