People in this list are really advanced user. I've been using LyX for
more than ten years and didn't need to do any tweaking. Try it, the
default looking of the generated documents is very fine already (above
anything that Word or OpenOffice can produce, especially if you use math.)
As for citation you can just use the included citation support, no need
to use natbib or jurabib for simple citation. Actually this simple
citation support is already much more advanced and useful than MS Word
reference feature.
