Hi,
I just thought I'd add my 2 cents here. You've got a *lot* of
suggestions to use Lyx. That's ok if all you want is something that
/can/ create LaTeX files. But, Lyx is *not* LaTeX. I had serious
problems importing my LaTeX files into Lyx, so i just gave up using
it.
In my opinion, there's two possibilities. If you want the most
powerful and vesatile tool to write LaTeX, but don't worry too much
about the easy of use, there's Emacs. I'm still to find anything more
powerful / customizable than it.
On the other hand, if you like to use a nice editor, with lots of
"buttons-to-click", document templates, quick access to LaTeX
documentation, toolbars, etc., your tool is Kile. It's a complete
laTeX editing environment, that integrates well with a dvi viewer and
even with external bibliography programs, like pybliographic. And it's
also highly customizable, so you can use the programs you want with
it.
