The prime benefit of LyX and LaTeX is consistency throughout the > document -- just what you don't need in a poster. This might be due to a different sort of poster. I wouldn't recommend LyX for an advertisement poster, but have successfully used it for a poster presentation at a scientific conference -- there you have far more formal restrictions and a choice of document classes that produce decent results. Beeing able to re-use parts of the article in the conference proceedings is a real plus. I used a homegrown a0poster-kh.layout together with a custom package a0poster-kh.sty based on the a0poster.cls extension a0poster-kh.tex by Karsten Held http://www.physik.uni-augsburg.de/theo3/Comp/hp750c/computing_hp750c_A0.de.shtml Nowadays (with 1.6.x) I'd write the layout using insets instead of styles for the boxes.
