The rest of it I have heard good things about, but if you can use Lyx or latex in the raw so to speak you may not like Applix, wp anyway-I do know that with the wordprocessor it leaves a bit to be desired with the import and export filters. Still, you may like it and the other aprts of may be more useful for your needs.
