Since this has evolved into a WP thread I guess I will comment. I personally used to prefer LyX, but of course it was only a front end to LaTeX. Now LaTeX was the way to go if you were writing long articles, like say a 100 volume encyclopedia. Then I realized that nothing I wrote was more than 20 pages or so. I do have a preference for simple text editors, but kind of require a decent spelling checker as my smelling stinks.
