Good. Seems like a natural. I will keep my eyes on it. lyx really
seems like an amazing word processor. Like troff, but for X windows,
and more flexible.

Because most of my stuff is only a few pages, troff works just fine, and
has lots of customization, but for a large paper or a book, troff just
doesn't cut it, and I can see how lyx would be very good for that.
Certainly the PostgreSQL docs are too large for a troff-only project,
but I can see lyx handling it nicely.
