I am very satisfied with LyX as a visual simplification for LaTeX. It makes
it easier to visualise the output in real time (WYSIWYG-type overview). I
never actually tried Kile, but I hear good things. I was pleased that the
article bother to mention that output from LyX (or LaTeX for that matter) is
indistinguishable from that which is produced at print houses/publishing
firms. In fact, some publishers use LyX for all I can tell, judging by the
mailing list.
