Or emacs? (^c^b). This has been a source of minor frustration to me as
well. Say I open 10 files (or 3 -- both happen). The last opened appears
at the top of the list (formerly in the document menu, now the view menu).  
If I want to switch between that document and one somewhere in the
"middle" rapidly, I have to remember the relative location of that file
entry. I want to put all my mental energy into my creative task and forget
the underlying technology as much as possible.

OK, I love the technology (lyx, latex, TeX, Bib management and all the 
manifold layers) and sometimes I have to "get it" to set something up or 
to fix something that broke (probably because I did something stupid). 
Point is, when I work, I want to forget the technology and attend to the 
writing.
