The two most important things that makes LyX different is:
1) Ergonomic advantage because we focus on logical editing, WYSIWYM
or whatever you'd like to call it.
2) The output quality is world class.
I agree that LyX as such is a word processor, but it's also a
document processor. I personally prefer "word processor", because
the term "document processor" makes me think of "food processor", for
some strange reason, although I haven't seen a recipe class (yet).
