LyX is great – it's what I used in college for physics papers. It's been a while but I think it was just LaTeX, so I'm not sure what your second point means. Sadly it never took off. These days I would choose Jypter notebooks or markdown files with embedded LaTeX math, which also gives you instant previews.

> I always thought it was just LaTeX, so I'm not sure what your second point means. LyX uses .lyx files but is able to import and output .tex files - and the fact that you remember it as "just LaTeX" means the integration is good enough. From their Features Poll[0] page: "By a general consensus of the developers, using LaTeX as a native format of LyX is no option. Query the lyx-devel archieves for details."
