considering.
Although I do most of my writing in Emacs with auctex, and I highly
recommend this route if you "live" in Emacs most of time (as I do), I
do use LyX at times. It does a great job at equations, tables,
figures, etc. One great advantage of LyX is that it generates very
clean LaTex code which you can subsequently tinker with if
desired/necessary. Also, LyX can be a great tool for learning LaTeX:
do what you need in LyX, export the document in LaTeX format and
explore!
I must admit that I never did get to grips with texmacs when I tried
it (many!) years ago. My experience might be different now, of
course.

I agree although most are right and the majority of the rest can be
customised. My main problem with the bindings is that all the other
bits of Emacs (calc-mode, maxima-mode, diary, ...) are not in LyX!
