sounds like you live in my cube (anti-productivity pod, for the dilbert 
fans)

For all those same reasons, I've just switched.  So far so good.  It'll 
be interesting to see if I can convince my co-workers to try it out. 
One thing that I don't like though, is image support.  Unless I am 
missing something, images are not actually part of the source doc, but 
are sucked in and then processed onto the output.  Distributing the pdf, 
for example, doesn't matter since the pictures are included.  But for 
multi-authors, any images have to be included with the article source files.

The LyX route is working for now - but am already finding reasons to add 
LaTeX commands into the source file.  Headers with images are a drag - 
still fighting that one.  Time to get a good book :D
