What exactly are your complaints against LyX? I've found it to be very stable for the past 3 or so years, and it's decidedly not WYSIWYG.

- sesqu 16y agoI've had it crash repeatedly, but it remains the best editor I've ever called WYSIWYG, whether or not that's accurate.
- colanderman 16y agoFrom the first paragraph of http://www.lyx.org/ http://www.lyx.org/: > LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).

- jessriedel 16y agoTheir written description notwithstanding, LyX is a hybrid between WYM and WYG. It bundles up standard blocks of source code and hides it behind graphical objects which resemble the final product. I believe that description is aimed at former MS Word users who don't even know the WYM/G distinction exists, not as a definitive membership claim by LyX.
- jessriedel 16y agoI'm glad you like LyX, and I encourage other people who haven't found a TeX editor they like to try it out. Personally, I don't want my editor to do anything with my source code except color code it, like turning the source code into into manipulable objects (or whatever you call that).
