LyX is rock-solid stable, on the other hand (and has fewer "gotchas" due to its lack of WYSYWIG). Way too crash-happy, on both Debian and Windows systems. ![]() I would love if TeXmacs improves, or has improved, but I absolutely can't recommend it for serious work. I found a particularly nasty case where just changing the type of header (chapter, sub-chapter, etc) crashed TeXmacs and caused all further attempts to open the file to crash the program immediately. ![]() And then there was the fact that it was super-easy to crash and lose all your work in an instant. Finding crap in the toolbars and menu was obtuse, or even what all the keyboard shortcuts were. TeXmacs fails at usability right off the bat, even being unfamiliar to those used to Emacs keyboard chords (it's sort of implied in the name to be for that use-case), and I found it a little better after changing it to a CUA mode (I think it was called "GNOME Look and Feel"?). Let's grant that the last time I tried to put TeXmacs into serious use was two years ago, but I don't see indicators much of it would have changed. I really do wish I could agree, but sadly I cannot. We have some evidence that it is helping, such as these high school students who somehow managed to write a 300 page report in LaTeX using Overleaf. I hope that Overleaf's rich text mode also helps people climbs LaTeX's notoriously steep learning curve, and I hope it saves them from some of the collaboration problems that I had when I was doing the same. For your interest, the next LyX version 1.5.

And Overleaf is basically just a refinement of this idea. Besides LyX's cv-class there are much better cv-classes available. In the end, they convinced me to just write LaTeX source into an EtherPad, which was fine once I got used to it. The main trouble I had with it was collaboration - since it was a desktop app that not many (possibly none?) of my colleagues used, I couldn't really get anyone else to contribute, except by asking for them to provide text and then mostly manually inserting it back in to LyX. I therefore recommend to replace your preamble with that you find in LyXs modernCV example file. (You can find a re-created example of that CV using AltaCV here.) Examples of producing a publication list and referees section is provided on the second page. Since LyX 1.6.8 the preamble is adapted to run also with the latest modernCV versions. AltaCV Template This is an bare bones CV created using altacv.cls (v1.6.5, ), which is based on the style of Marissa Mayers CV created by BusinessInsider using enhancv. I've written several papers in LyX, and I think it was a great way to get started with LaTeX. It is because your file uses the preamble of the LyX example file that came with LyX 1.6.0.
