I think that something that is missing in the propaganda is that lyx uses a _pragmatic_ approach to structured documents. The few times where I have seen a full-blown sgml editor, it made me want to run away quick. It is not just a matter of habits, but rather of finding the best of both worlds. For example, the use of layouts (a flat thing) and depth to nest environments is great. Of course, as it is now, it causes problems (like two consecutive theorems), but this is something that can be solved with enough thought. The ``theoretical'' approach of "let everything be an inset that can be inserted anywhere" just sucks when you actually want to write a document. JMarc
