Greetings,
As a new user, to me clearly the most important feature missing from
LyX is the ability to create new document classes with custom
enviroments using the LyX GUI.
I know adding such a feature must be quite a large undertaking, but
writing .layout files or even one single line of LaTeX code is too
steep a learning curve for the average Word user to ever climb.

P.D. Thanks for the tips on the accent problem. Switching to 1.4.1
did solve it. It seems your psychic powers are in no need of any
upgrade whatsoever. ;)

I have attempted to outline what LyX can still learn from scientific
workplace and vice versa. Its not the world but it is the part which
makes the users
base change from enthusiasts to "commoners". Please check out
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxVersusScientificWorkplace

Feel free to drop me a line - I mainly want to start people to start
thinking what LyX needs to become commonplace ... and completely
replace Scientific
Workplace on my desk and Word on my supervisors desk.
Best wishes,
-Jan
