LyX is out, Adobe FrameMaker 9 is in. I spent 20 hours over three days banging my head against LyX for a measly 12 pages of results. I was really loving it right up until I had to start putting in a lot of screenshots and diagrams. I spent more time screwing with the placement of the images than I did writing the content. It took me an hour to figure out how to center an image (you don't center the IMAGE, you center the PARAGRAPH the image is in).
I'm familiar with Adobe products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) so hopefully the learning curve won't be as steep and I'll be able to spend more time writing content then fighting placement and typesetting.
Uh.... wasn't I supposed to be learning something else here..?
