Whoops, typo :-) How many times, I have started my most popular
web browser instead of LyX? Many times...

I believe, that there is currently no better option than that
available in open source world. Of course, you can go for XML/XSL
stuff, but despite all hype, you cannot get anything so friendly
(as far as I know) as LyX. And of course, you can write DocBook
in LyX too.

In the autumn mountains
The yellow leaves are so thick.
Alas, how shall I seek my love
Who has wandered away?
I see the messenger come
As the yellow leaves are falling.
Oh, well I remember
How on such a day we used to meet--
My lover and I!
