Lyx is quite powerful, but it's also essentially Unix specific. The GUI
for it is built using a bizzare library called XForms, which generates
ugly, slow UIs. There's a QT port in progress, but as of my last try
(about 2 months ago) the QT version was not usable.
There's some good news on that ! I've just downloaded the rh9-qt Lyx and it
looks really good
and moves really snappy !
As for xml/docboox... It's somewhat tempting, except for the minor fact
that none of us actually know it. Given how utterly crushed we all are
with the current workload, learning a totally new syntax for writing
documents is just not in the cards.
I completely agree. As a side note though, I've found it to be really easy
to learn, and emacs'
tag list & major mode are quite helpfull. Well, perhaps next time !
