I think many people want to see LyX as tool similar to Kompozer (HTML
editor). The problem with LaTeX language is that it is not
hierarchical as HTML (subset of XML). LyX itself tries to hold
document structure as hierarchical, what is much clearer. LaTeX is
used to format text according to some definitions from document
classes. But it large number of places it allows users doing things
not exchangeable in both directions, if structure has to be kept.
Personally I see this as large disadvantage of LaTeX, but there is
nothing better that to flowing text automatically. LyX is good balance
between structured documents and LaTeX strengths.
