It's an author's dream for the same reason that it's a programmer's
dream.

I haven't tried Lyx. I was always afraid of LaTeX, but I did my last
book (nonfiction, with lots of footnotes, cross-references, tables,
etc.) completely in LaTex. It was not so hard to learn, because there
are so many tutorials (same with mutt), and gives beautiful results. I
found Vim-Latex to be too "heavy", instead I just did a couple of key
remaps for \section{} etc.
For a novel, LaTeX it would be dead simple. I also ended up buying The
LaTeX Companion once I decided to adopt it permanently.
