I'd like to thank all of you for developing such a lovely program. I have a suggestion, probably already pointed out.
Can make LyX work with TEX files as native document format? In this way using LYX in a collaboration would be much easier. Indeed, some of my collaborators don't want to use LyX and prefer to use a text editor and write the TEX directy. This means that in oder to use their tex file I have to import it and this is never 100% reliable and clean. I hope you can do something. Bye Roberto
