Garst, I am afraid agree with you.
IMHO the biggest mistake was to drop the "Format" menu. EVERY text
editing tool but LyX has such a menu and the average user expects it to
contain "Character...", "Paragraph...", and "Document..." entries. In
LyX, you find formatting options in both "Edit" and "Document"
("Edit>Text Style", "Edit>Paragraph Settings", "Document>Settings"
etc.). IMHO this is counter-intuitive and also 'pollutes' the "Edit"
menu. Also: Why is "LaTeX Log" in "Document"? It only makes sense in the
context of "View".
I know that we discussed the menu structure a long time ago.
Nevertheless, I think we should again ask the LyX users what they think
about the new structure and revert some of the changes if they lead to
confusion. It is not a shame to confess that some changes went into the
wrong direction.

PS: The citation dialog has become very inconvenient. Are there any
plans to revive the good old 1.3.X dialog in 1.4.X?
