I've heard good things about LyX, but haven't actually used it. I don't know LaTeX either.

Whatever editor you settle on, I would recommend checking out AutoKey.
code.google.com/p/autokey/
It will allow you to add many useful features to your text processor (or any other program). Its phrases feature can be used to insert words/phrases, code skeletons, HTML, and boilerplates.

Its functions can do almost anything - limited only by your knowledge of python (you mentioned you were a programmer). It communicates with your application through the keyboard interface, so your application can't tell it's not you typing. You don't have to configure anything.

It has a macro recorder function, so you can build simple functions without any coding or knowing python.
