As in everything else its a matter of experience. In this case we are talking about first time users. One of the things that gets one is when you end with a list and lyx seems to complain but there is no useful feedback. Its the sort of thing that would drive some back to windows (Heaven alone knows why). I agree that one can compile under latex but here we are talking about people who dont know latex.

Talking of exporting a latex format to people who are just being seduced into lyx may be a little overwhelming for some. However, I agree its worth a mention.
