I noticed the following at https://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc3
" Also, if you are a LyX user and have enjoyed using LyX for some purpose, it would be nice of you to email the developers to let us know.", and I am responding accordingly. I started using LYX in 2004 because one of my PhD students was using it, and he wanted me to use it in writing a paper with him. He was a LaTeX whiz, as were many of my colleagues and students, but I was not. It was interesting to see his motivation to move to LYX: He said that with LYX he could spend more time thinking about what he was writing, rather than hassling with large equation layouts, etc. Since then I have insisted that students and colleagues, that I am collaborating with, use LYX, and by now have a number of published papers that we wrote using LYX. One motivation, among others, was that I got tired of providing my edits in pdf files, when I can do them in LYX in track changes mode. Also, I didn't like Scientific Word that much (had used it to write a book). Now, I have been writing a book for over two years now with my colleague Tom Philips at NYU, using LYX, and we do have an LYX feature request that I will send in the next email. Meanwhile, I wanted to say that I am very impressed seeing all the development activity by many people on this list. Many thanks for a great product. Best regards, Doug -- R.
