In my case, I was a Windows user, then I passed to Linux. I normally use Latex 
with Kile. I tried several times with Emacs but I think definitely this is 
not for me. I do not have enough memory to remember so many combination of 
keys: cntrl+e, cntrl-x, cntrl-c ,... I am very happy with Kile. 

If you use Windows you have a very similar free editor called "Texniccenter".

If you like wysiwyg editors, I think "Texmacs" may be better than Lyx. But I 
would not recommend this, I think it is better to write the Latex code 
directly with Emacs or Kile.
