LyX is a word processor which just happens to write TeX as output file. The only thing I do not like about LyX is that is uses a closed-source library which you can download for free but only in binary. This I do not understand -- why would a freeware author use a closed-source library (libforms?) when there are other open source libraries with the same functionality?
