I used LyX for about a year and in that time it tuned from a dream into a nightmare. The problem is that at some point if your typesetting is complex then you need some LaTeX package that LyX doesn't support and have to resort to inline TeX code. The horrid LaTeX code that LyX generates does not play nice and a huge amount of time gets wasted trying to find a LyX-friendly way to express something which would have been a few lines of LaTeX. Don't even get me started on Lyx's Rube Goldberg support for custom document classes.

Your use of Lyx is of longer duration and at a deeper level than mine, so ... thank you for posting.
