But, when you decide that you want to change some details across a 200 page long document then Lyx is teh Editor:) And the thing that get's me is that the .lyx file that it uses for saving is basically a rich-text document and it stays small, while the .docx grows like hell with every page you add. So, using online back-up with .lyx is a breeze comparing with syncing 30mb .docx document every time you change something. + I love the way it does all of the typesetting for you so it all looks professional and stuff. Anyways, excellent app, can't write without it but it does take some time to learn how to use it properly! If you’re writting short, 2-3 page document, word-like program is probably the way to go.

I use it for all of my professional documents and even for my site using hevea. Also if you would have read the introduction you would realize that LyX is aimed at properly displaying content than word processing. So you focus on what youre writing not how youre writing it. Anyways great app and I hope you use it more. I love LyX. I use it for all of my professional documents and even for my site using hevea.
