 +1, definitely the most important thing for me is good latex integration.
 That use case (cols use plain latex, you use lyx) is very common

 But LyX was not designed to reverse engineer LaTeX documents, so lot of
sophisticated solutions are problematic for LyX import.

Well, yea. So what? It doesn't need to work all the time. If the Lyx
compile button doesn't work anymore, but the make script still runs,
that's good enough for me.

By the way, the lyx importer is great. I imported several docuents
which I consider quite complex,  and sometimes after a few
adaptations, often right away, they compile in lyx. Export is great,
too. So what's the problem? :)

 How do you ninja lyx into your research groups?


I agree this is a problem. Some lossless round trip collaboration between
LyX and pure LaTeX would be very useful. I tried doing this with export -
import - merge, but it did not produce the best results.

Maybe the issue to address is that export - import is a very loss operation,
and it should not be. Of course certain parts are not required in the export
(LyX macros, disabled branches, LyX comments, and even LyX styles). But they
could be hidden in comments and restored during the import.

But I am sure there is more than one solution to this problem.
