And, you can edit the *LyX* source in any text editor. I do it all the time. For instance, I have a VimOutliner to LyX converter that writes LyX source code, I have an Ebook personalizer that replaces a variable with the customer's name. Sometimes, when faced with a confusing LyX problem, I'll go in with Vim, look around, and maybe even do some diagnostic changes.
