I miss using lyx and latex so much. I used it for my dissertation, and used mercurial for version tracking (this was 2008-2009, when mercurial and git were still neck and neck). When I updated an analysis and got new results, it triggered a rebuild of the thesis with new plots and descriptions. I had more than a year of history showing how the results progressed. Word docs can't approach this.
