By design, it is different from regular word processors — in a way that
makes writing documents easier.
But only a little different, so don't be scared.
The documentation will make it all clear.

Yes, LyX can mimic (almost) all LaTeX functionality.

English.
In addition, the key bindings, toolbars, and many other characteristics
are highly configurable.
