Really love lyx. Used plain latex for a while, but for me LyX really hits the sweetspot between writing latex in vim and word-like WYSIWYG.

Lyx and Zotero+LyZ made for a quite fine thesis workflow. LyX files are plain text and thus easily managed in git.

I disagree about the git part. Or at least mine is not configured as it should. Lyx, by default at least, wrap the line to the 80-char limits which make a change (of a removed -or added- coma -or word-) several breakline due to the shift. Which makes the `git diff` almost unreadable and the change hard to find.

For a single person document git is probably overkill - but due to the fact hit is available everywhere it is an easy way to have a history of your changes.
