importantly, none of us developers---I'd be shocked if I
don't speak for all of us---want LyX to be WYSIWYG. At least
lots of us think that WYSISYM positively INTERFERES with the
process of writing. The separation of content from
presentation revolutionized the process of writing for me.
But you do have to get used to it and, well, just stop
fussing so much over details of presentation, at least until
you're done writing. Why mess with where a figure goes when
the whole page may change?
This is exactly the process I use with Ventura. Write the text,
then later, ususally much later, format the document. I use
Ventura like a typewriter, just like other writers.
But that seems like using a bulldozer to drive a nail. If you're
writing, why on earth would you be using a program capable of what
Ventura can do? You're just asking for distraction.
I'll leave it to others to comment on bibliographies and the like.
Unless you wish to assert that Ventura integrates something the likes of
BibTeX.
