LyX was enough that I switched from Mac to unix over it . . . As a Ph.D.
Econ student, I wrote so many equations, and I could write from the
keyboard  *and* edit equations from the keyboard.

I added the indexing command (which got removed when something it depended
upon got re-written), a mail-merge function, and the license clarification
(which a non-lawyer later tossed based on advise from the FSF;  but since I
think all my code is out, I never bothered)
