I've been a LyX user for five years(!), and I really have to say that
the thing has grown on me.

IMNSHO LyX is word processing done right. It's easy to use, and
extremely powerful; especially if you need to be able to write, e.g.,
mathematical equations.

But even for plain word processing it's a killer application. For
instance, cross-references work out-of-the-box and the GUI is very
simple and easy to use.

And, since it uses LaTeX on the background, you can really do very neat
things with it, if you want and know how.
