I'd rather use LaTeX directly, so I can edit with a good text editor,
instead of a GUI. LyX piles on some extra wrappage that I don't care
for.
It's just a personal preference, though.
I wrote my dissertation with DPS (on a Dec-10) using a line editor whose
name I don't remember, so *.tex files feel comfy.
Maybe I should just write the documents in PostScript. <grin>
