As I have said, there are not many such 'basic' things.
\textrm{\times} is the single most annoying one.

I personally prefer lyx to SWP, not because lyx is free, (my
university has site license of SWP) but because it is compatible with
other latex systems, totally customizable (shortcuts) and available
under linux.
However, I do understand my advisor's reaction. He can install SWP by
himself (I had to discourage him from installing lyx on his home
computer by himself), type and print things without errors (lyx file
get 'corrupted' soon). Although lyx is better in many other ways, he
can not appreciate it until he uses lyx more.
