I'd have to disagree.Unfortunately LyX is still behind the curve in
the area of big project management (books, manuals, etc). But it is
close to perfect, I think, for any document from 0 pages to
chapter-length as long as complex layouts are not required (i.e.
multicolumnns with pictures and tables, etc.).
I like to use Lyx for nearly everything as it's good 'practice' for when
I need to use it for the more important stuff. For example, I once
wrote a shorter doc in Lyx while trying out an unfamiliar document class.
I'm at the note taking stage of a book project myself. Care to elaborate
about the features which you think that Lyx is missing for book-scale
projects?
