Yes, that's it. It is the same frustration I was feeling when I used
Word for the first time, for example. This is due to the the learning
of a new tool, and becoming acquainted with its physolophy.

Then, there's people that simply don't like the latex way and you
can do nothing to convince them (I know many), or, conversely,
don't like the Word way and similarly you will simply waste time
trying to bring them to primitive ways of writing.

This has not to be a holy war. He doesn't like LyX? Fine. I don't
like Word? Fine that, too. Everybody uses what he pleases most.
What I am concerned about is the possibility to have a choice,
and luckily LyX gives me that choice.

I fear a world where everything is done exactly in the same way
everywhere.
