You're kidding, surely.

Sometimes I really do expect him to post one day telling us all how he's
been trolling us all this time and how gullible we all are.

Andy, please. There's nothing wrong about being ignorant (everybody is), but
you can't let yourself appear perpetually clueless about the simplest
things, particularly when you spend so much time talking about much you love
arcane programming stuff. There's some phenomenal discrepancy here.
A professional IT worker who don't know how to remove Clippy is like a guy
who claims to be a race car driver, keeps talking about aerodynamic drag and
airfoils, and then complains that he doesn't know how to turn on the
headlights in Mommy's Ford Escort because it's so darn difficult and Ford is
a lousy carmaker anyway. Or a wannabe porn actor unable to remove his pants
because of that mysterious "zipper" technology.
When you don't know something, please do some minimal homework before asking
questions. It will pay off some day. Really.
G.

Yes, with figures & tables too. For short document as well as big one.
Only trouble is I cannot easily resize a table: still have to create
it right the first time or copy-paste into the right one afterhand.

I focus on content, and leave latex&lyx do the formatting. Then I
check it and take care of the wrong looking things (like table far
too long for the page...)

Sounds like you'd benefit from having a look at structured Framemaker,
then.

Well yes, the day I'll try to make the world better with a new word
processor, I think I'll start from scratch...
Not that this day has come yet ;-)
TeX is admirable because of its lifespan, its stability, its low count
of bugs, but I think starting from its source would lead to a
derivative, but nothing radically new...

MS Word does. Change the style, and every piece of text with that style
applied changes with it.
If you apply the heading styles to stuff in your documents, and then
build a table of contents, it will be built from the header-styled items
in the document.
