Started out quite similar, now klyx development is waiting for lyx to
come in a more "gui-independant" state so that the klyx branch can be
merged back into LyX before continuing development.
LyX proper has had huge changes internally since the split, and a lot
of bugs fixed. I am not sure how closely klyx has tracked those. LyX
are also on the verge to support hebrew/chinese/japanese and the the
difference will probably be huge.
However qt and gtk+ ports are planned and will hopefully not happen
too far into the feature (we need developers that can help with this
effort)
