It seems to me that, in a paradoxical way, the complaint about file format
incompatibilities reveals the strengths of LyX: Many people have written
important documents in LyX, rely on the program and trust in it.

Perhaps the problem could be solved by a (toggable) option that LyX
automatically saves a ".tex" file with each ".lyx" file? That would also
simplify manual post-processing of LyX documents. Currently, one always has
to take care that a ".tex" file actually corresponds to the latest version
of a "*.lyx" file.
