I also like to use LyX for taking notes, especially when those notes will
involve mathematical formulas and notation but also because of all the
keyboard shortcuts for sections and the like. It is also good for making
references in a straightforward manner.

However, I don't really think LyX should be marketed that way. Its main
purpose is still to be a front end for LaTeX. An incidental note on such
note-taking capabilities could be added somewhere on the website, I suppose.
