Go for the real thing. Use LaTeX. If you're addicted to point-and-click and
you don't mind the KDE-Qt style, Kile is not bad, but if you ask me,
Emacs+AucTeX is the definitive answer. You may want to start with Kile and
switch to Emacs later.
In my case, I was a Windows user, then I passed to Linux. I normally use Latex
with Kile. I tried several times with Emacs but I think definitely this is
not for me. I do not have enough memory to remember so many combination of
keys: cntrl+e, cntrl-x, cntrl-c ,... I am very happy with Kile.
If you use Windows you have a very similar free editor called "Texniccenter".
If you like wysiwyg editors, I think "Texmacs" may be better than Lyx. But I
would not recommend this, I think it is better to write the Latex code
directly with Emacs or Kile.
