There is a funny article about free software that I found through
slashdot. The interesting part is that it mentions LyX quite a lot...
Excerpts (Peter is Peter Seebach, who, among other things, posts on the
lyx lists and installed NetBSD and LyX on his mom's laptop):
And Peter found a great word-processing program called LyX, based on
Donald Knuth's typesetting program TeX, which I used years ago and
greatly admire. TeX can print anything a full-power typesetter can, in
case I ever need that, but it's completely unobtrusive if all I want
to do is write plain text.
And all of it is free.
Or, later:
"If I start using LyX," Peter said, "sooner or later there will be
some feature I want, and I'll write it and send it to them. Everybody
does that, that's how it's supposed to work.
"And in five years, Microsoft will be saying, 'Word is a program with
all the features of LyX."'
The kind of things I'd like to read...

PS: there is also a positive two pages article on LyX in April issue
of 'Linux Magazine France' which is, obviously, a french magazine
dedicated to Linux
