Here is my 10cents, or �re as we would say in Norway.
I turned to LyX after writing LaTeX directly for many years, I wrote
my master in applied math in LaTeX.
LyX seems to solve my main problem with LaTeX, I constantly found
myself tracking missing } and $ as I prefer to type most of the text
uninterrupted of typesetting/updating the dvi file, as I need to get
my (bright?) ideas in writing before I forget them. I'm also getting
a closer feel to the text and the equations as I see what it might
look like right away.
Of course, I still miss many of the nifty emacs features, marking
blocks of text in one keystroke, transposing chars, words, lines, but
all in all I'm more productive using lyx than typing LaTeX directly.
So, kudos to the LyX team!
