Fair question, and I probably should have worded it better. Yes, with LaTeX, 
you can control everything, but (at least in my experience) the learning 
curve to gain that control can be daunting. The GUI of LyX makes things 
easier, but even then, if you want total control, you're mixing in raw TeX 
commands with options selected from a menu, all the while throwing in a long 
list of preamble commands, all of which can take a long time to learn. The 
point and click options in LO make things *so* much more accessible. Of 
course, I'll be the first to admit that LO can't match the professional 
final output of LaTeX, (especially with LaTeX's OSF font options and the 
Microtype justification package), but it's getting closer, and certainly 
acceptable for my purposes.

So, to make matters easier, when using LaTeX, I try to stick with the its 
default formatting, which results in a (voluntary) loss of control.
