I am a strong believer in LyX and the concept WYSWIM. But the
breakthrough for LyX will ONLY come if we get a fair quota among first
time users. Two years ago, we required our masters students in CS545
to submit Latex typesetted homework. I recommended both SWP and LyX as
Lyx was not yet as great as now. But I also warned the students that
SWP would deactivate after 4 Weeks. Thus, initially most used LyX as
Latex newbies. Most people started with with LyX, also as I had it
installed on the school owned computers - but very few stayed with it.
The complaints were always exactly the same: too difficult to do
simple things.
Well, it'd be interesting to know exactly what simple things then.
I agree, it would be very interesting to know exactly what
operations/tasks they found difficult... any ideas?
