It is to say, I'm delighted with the clean appearance of Lyx

templates and so. Now you get many incomplete issues and you get lost
with every step you do. Really, if I would not have my word processor,
I woul be death. It is a way to know when one can have an again
working Lyx? I tried with Kile and think, well, instead and if I had
the time, better learn latex. When I see the dozens of daily
questions, claims and problems in the list, I thing Lyx is for the
first a very cumbersome thing.
I'm so far dissappointed as I was hopeful.
If you are really interested in getting help instead of venting your
anger you might consider giving details about which kind of system you
are using, which version of LyX you try to use, what you tried, what you
expected and what failed.
And I might add that a lot of the questions on the list are of the form,
"How do you do this very complicated thing?" And people ask, because
they get answers.
