I think that GNU TexMacs [1] is a superior to LyX, albeit less well known. Unlike LyX, it doesn't depend on the TeX stack and all the baggage that comes with it.

Isn't TeXmacs dead? It got removed from the Debian repos due to lack of maintenance.

No, the package just has no Debian maintainer so it was dropped. Latest release is 1.99.7 which was released July 5:

One big advantage I found for Lyx over TexMacs is that you can have latex in comments in Lyx but not in TexMacs
