Actually LyX is using WYSIWYM paradigm, like What You See Is What You Mean. If I don't want to think much about formatting within Emacs, I will use LyX, it offers me quicker LaTeX and other similar TeX based templates. After a while of work, after months or years, then I have those LaTeX templates anyway on computer, so what I do is just open one LaTeX template, rename it for new purpose, modify the text and insert new text and voilà. My largest problem with LyX is that I have to use X org based keyboard bindings to switch between languages as I often use 2-3 languages. Switching the input method in Emacs is so much more easier with C-\ and setting it up with C-RET-\ I may use Arabic keyboard with some weird hard to find English layout, Emacs helps there. German input method on US layout, Emacs helps, and so on. I just wish other systems would have input methods that well defined. I like vim and vi editors as well, but input methods are missing or I do not know how to set it, so I have to use xmodmap.
