LyX - pseudo-WYSYWYG editor for LaTeX

Open source community strikes again. Encountered another piece of software with defensive and arrogant development team.

LyX is devised as a WYSYWYG editor for LaTeX, but it does not support properly formatted LaTeX files for import and export.

The developers are clearly annoyed by the bug report and recommend changing the LaTeX documents to accommodate their bugs.

Chemists beware! Your LaTeX works employing fabulous Martin Hensel's mhchem package will lose some formatting characters if imported into LyX. I am aware of problems with gas ^ character and equation direction characters >>. There may be more issues I am not aware of! more...
