LyX is definitely cool.  I have been writing with it for a week or so.  It's 
easy to use and after reading portions of the tutorial, I think the LyX 
paradigm makes sense to me - i.e., don't worry about formatting.

To use it, you simply need to use the left-hand selection to apply a different 
style.

Also, for your resume problem, LyX will export to PDF format.  This is a good 
enough reason to eschew MS.

Matt Gushee commented on the document templates and the XForms GUI toolkit.  I 
don't mind either.
