Although the other issues aren't addressed AFAIK in LyX (yet),
they're as easily solved in LaTeX by using the right packages
appropriately.
Well, that is true by definition---everything can be done in LaTeX!
[for some very broad definition of 'everything,' at least ;-)]
The above solution becomes less easy when you have several parameters
you want to change at once and several files in a document. In fact the
real solution wopould be to have different classes or customized
classes. Which is basically what Framemaker does when you change from
one template to another and export it to all the files.
However, my point was that Framemaker makes this, and other tasks,
easier. Read---less time consuming and error prone. On a similar point
raised earlier: suggesting that multi-file search-and-replace could be
done with a perl script seems to me to be beside the point. Or would
you consider hacking perl 'easy'? Not for me, for sure, and, I would
dare say, not for a large majority of writers.
Is is nonetheless true that LyX has reached a point of maturity where
this and other annoyances are outweighed by the benefits. One can only
hope it will keep getting better and better....
