Probably OT: I haven't had much of a chance to use LyX, but it looked promising. (I know folks that swear by it.) Any reviews here welcomed.

- TylerE 15y agoLyX is ok for what it is. It certainly gets some use, even in publishing. But at least for me a big part of the appeal to TeX is that it isn't a (%*#% GUI. It's text. I can edit in an efficient plain text editor, "refactor" styling, etc. I've even at times generated TeX code programmatically (It's often less painful for stuff like receipts than writing a PDF generator by hand, usually looks better too.) So, I'd like a better input language, but I _don't_ want to fundamentally change the way it works. Just don't make me use a textual-replacement macro language.
