Most of the mentioned projects seem to be quite young. Let us see how
they develop.
What I like about LyX is that standard work (typing, structure, basic
figures/floats, bibtex/references) is done by an easy editor (although
not completely wysiwyG). At the same time the whole LaTeX world is open
to you. One can add any particular LaTeX-package.
This fortune does not show up, when starting out in LaTeX with an editor
like LyX (means LyX does a good job by hiding the compiling stuff). But
if you continue, you will see that for any particular issue in
typesetting is solved by a particular LaTeX-package.
Go on guys,
Axel

Can anyone summarize pros/cons of the various options listed in this
thread? You're all using (and most are actively developing) LyX, so I
assume you see some advantages to LyX, right?
I like it as a LaTeX front-end with a much shallower learning curve. I
like LaTeX because it does a good job of figuring out the large-scale
typesetting (floats and things). I don't want to manually do typesetting
in a case-specific manner because whenever I modify the document I then
end up having to re-typeset it.
