Certainly. LyX 3.0 (a.k.a. iLyX), which will be released on April 1,

production of the bells (for the logo).

Not really (the event was in October). But of course Knuth had a lot

the big issue made of the real pronunciation of TeX).

OK, I got to the part:
Every-
thing in the new system is menu-driven, somewhat
in the style of “Microsoft Word” but considerably
enhanced:

So I guess we'll have to wait for pigs to fly before we port LyX to iTeX.

Was this an Apr 1 joke ?

Not really (the event was in October). But of course Knuth had a lot
of fun ridiculing Steve Jobs' performances (and other things, such as
the big issue made of the real pronunciation of TeX).

I'm a bit surprised by this announcement. Does iTeX have any potential

Certainly. LyX 3.0 (a.k.a. iLyX), which will be released on April 1,
