To get the benefit of your experience. Do you use Lyx as your editor or something else.
Sorry if I "jump in", but as a LaTeX user I usually suggest to stay away from Lyx. Basically it's an editor that attempt to make LaTeX work like Words, which IMHO it's not the best approach. I suggest to use an editor that doesn't try to hide how LaTeX works, and one of my favourite is TexMaker.
There is nothing wrong in using LyX. I don't know why you have that perception. It helps when your writing is qualitative rather than quantitative (in which case LaTeX and a more involved process can be adopted).
LyX is the only qt (or gtk) program I use in a regular basis, and the main reason why I type xinit at all -- another reason being that elinks sometimes does not make sense of webpages. Manolo
