Right. LyX is a graphical front-end to LaTeX, meaning it can do virtually anything LaTeX can do. I'm a pretty avid user, since I also find that Word/OpenOffice lack many features that scientists use.
I'd be cautious if I was you...I don't know how much it has changed, but 4 years ago I tried using LyX to avoid LaTeX, but got so frustrated I just resorted to learning LaTeX and sticking with that.

This looks like it may fit the bill without making it completely text based like *TEX.
