In my personal experience, pandoc is more reliable than latexml, e.g. the current support for the latter in docutils does not automatically include amsfonts which prevents things like mathbb from working. In pandoc it Just Works.
One big advantage of pandoc is that it supports {align} and {gather}.
Pandoc and latex2mathml.py supports different subsets of latex. For example, latex2mathml.py does not support \gsime, but pandoc does.
The pandoc list of supported symbols is here [1] and it appears to be bigger (~2800 symbols) than the one in latex2mathml.py (~100 symbols), although it does not support some stuff like \underleftrightarrow that latex2mathml does.
Actually it appears [1] is written by yourself, and that version is 8 years old, so if you know where a newer version is I can go file a PR to them to support newer stuff like \underleftrightarrow.
(Another advantage on top of the other external tools, is that it is still under active development; the last commit to the texmath component was 24 days ago.)

I see. Active development and widespread use is another bonus (especially
over other external tools).

latex2mathml uses the same database and extracts the about 600 symbols
supported by the most common math packages. It also supports literal
Unicode characters in the input.

The "unimathsymbols" database only contains LaTeX math macros that map
directly to Unicode code points. (\underleftrightarrow is implemented
using ↔ (\leftrightarrow) in a <munder> element.)

Thank you for the patch.
What are the advantages over the native LaTeX -> MathML converter?
A test of the new conversion route with the maths documentation source
mathematics.txt revealed:
latexml),(instead of reporting an unknown macro, it tells about expecting "%", "\label", "\nonumber" or whitespace)
BTW: a fix for "amsfonts" commands with
latexmlis ready and will be soon in the repository.(delete double-post; see comment below)
