Haven't used it in a while, but I think this public should also take a look at TeXmacs. I've long stopped caring about anything WYSIWYG but that software seemed to me to strike a very well designed balance between WYSIWYG/fast-input (though with a steeper learning curve than M$Word, but very approachable) and showing what's under the hood.

Are you able to give a quick overview of some of the differences between TeXmacs and LyX. As a longtime LyX user, the two applications look very much alike.

+1 for TeXmacs, though it seems development hasn't really continued which is a shame really: it's pretty fantastic software.
