My explanation of the LaTeX/LyX philosphy is:

Word processors make it easy to get the pages that look exactly like
you want them to. LaTeX/LyX makes it easy to get professional looking
pages. Unless you're a professional designer of such, the two will be
unrelated. Decide which you want, and use the right tool for the job.
