I will keep that in mind. However, my issue at the time was writing a short paper in CSE style with no biblatex CSE style file. I had six references and had already burned up a lot of time gathering the data for the paper. I had learned Python, R and a little SageMath (all three I was a novice in starting out) and didn't feel like diving into any bibliography stuff for a style I will never use again. Not to say I don't want to contribute but with a family and my wife and I back into school I have limited time.
I had started writing it in LibreOffice because Zotero could insert with CSE style citations and bibliography. However, placement of figures and floats, as well as tables was horrible. The math editor was a joke. If it is anything like I hear Word is for equations, I understand completely. I finally ended up with the equations on a separate page because inline equations were horrid. I also could not get the figures to behave, as they anchored EVERYWHERE but a nice neat column. I eventually the figures within table cells to tame them. At some point of hair pulling and looking at my output, I cheated. I simply copied the text over to LyX with the citations already embedded as plain text, created hanging indents for the bibliography, and redid the figures and tables as proper floats. I took the equations and placed them inline into the text. I then fought with the actual paper content and page length limitations instead of the damn formatting! (If anyone is interested I have the before and after in dropbox.)
