I think LyX is superb in meeting its intended purpose. It literally does allow a user to produce beatiful LaTeX documents with no knowlege of LaTeX at all. Not just no knowledge of LaTeX but also no knowledge of typesetting. I can teach new users LyX and have them functional within 20 minutes. The desire to have a GUI which allows you to create new classes or styles for LaTeX could well be the basis for a completely separate (but complementary) project. John O'Gorman
