I used Lyx back in university to transcribe the math lectures. It was good enough that the professor later asked me if I can send him the PDFs and source files ;)

Lyx is great for that exact purpose! I used it too as an undergrad. But it doesn't offer the full flexibility and toolset available in LaTeX, which limits its use for more complex documents.
The Lyx editor solves both these problems for me. I'd probably be using LaTeX a lot less if I hadn't found Lyx (that quote about fingernail clippings in oatmeal doesn't apply to Lisp IMO, but certainly does to LaTeX).
