As a new user, to me clearly the most important feature missing from LyX

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.
Are you talking about document classes or layouts here? They are quite
different. One is instructions for the appearance of your document after
it has been processed by LaTeX, the other how your document should be
presented on screen by LyX.
Btw, in my opinion creating a new typographic appearance for a document is
well beyound the average user - LyX or Word. In fact, I doubt I'd be able
to produce something that looks good. (I'm not talking about doing some
minor tweaking of an existing style here, but actually doing one from
scratch). If possible, I'd leave this to people with (typo)graphical
talents.
