well I'm almost done, I turn in my master thesis monday. And I have put
"everybody on the lyx-user mailing list" in the thanks-section.
I find the reasons to be obvious:
1) The developpers of lyx are listening in and they react to whatever happens
here. I find lyx to be one of the best pieces of software I have used and I am
planing on finding the time to help you - when I get more settled.
2) I started using lyx 6 month ago. I was tired of windows and had installed
linux on my laptop and needed some kind of word processor. I tried the
different ones, and I ended up using lyx, because, while staroffice is nice
(and free) it takes at least 5 minutes to launch, and I wanted some kind of
graphical user interface. And after an afternoon of trying to understand how
this tex-stuff is working, I had access to a professional tool with allowed me
to make my calculations in an easy way (I have something like 50 pages of
calculations - using MS word it would have require so much more RAM and
processing power than lyx does).
I have had my problems like you always have when you start using something new
- and I have my ideas of how things should look, so I have more problems than
most people :-) - but the lyx-user mailing list have answered all my questions,
with a response time of, in general, less than a couple of hours. That is good
- very good.
3) this list is a rich source of information - both on lyx and on certain
linguistic issues ..... :-)
The one thing I lack is more a tex-thing than lyx. It is a style editor. Does
anyone of a GUI based class/style editor? Perhaps we should mount a project to
make such a software.
I look forward to version 1.2 (and a gtk-version) of lyx :-)
Thanks again.
