Is there anything else than Framemaker (for Windows), which is a real alternative to Lyx (for Windows) for writing long documents in science? And as I understood, Framemaker cannot work with long footnotes (Lyx can continue them on the next page).
Raw LaTeX and groff can handle that kind of thing. But if you're looking for a WYSI* tool, there aren't many alternatives. Scientific Word is similar to LyX, in that it's a friendlier front-end to LaTeX, but I don't know if it's still being sold.
There are a number of XML-based editors that may (or may not!) work for you.
