I can't imagine it being hard to edit within the LyX environment. I mean all 
you do is type and use the menus. The only hard thing about LyX is making your 
own environments. 

That ease of use is my reason for using LyX. When writing a book, it's nice to 
think like an author instead of a Geek. I'm not intelligent enough to do both 
at the same time :-)
