Yes, I agree that LO could be appropriate for short & quick documents, but for
everything larger LyX/LateX are more suitable for the task...

Now, I'm curious if anyone tried to explore ConTeXt
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net) which is (more) monolithic in comparison with
LaTeX resulting in no clashes between different packages?

Yes, there is probably steep(er) learning curve, but in the long run?

(It would be great if LyX could handle ConteXt format, but I'm aware that LaTeX
market is huge in comparison...)


Sincerely,
Gour
