[PLUG] Linux tools for technical writing?

[mmalten@comcast.net]

I know that in the Windows and Mac worlds, technical writers use tools 
like FrameMaker and MS Publisher.

Now I exorcised Windows from my computer as soon as it came into my home, 
and I have LyX, openoffice, abiword, which I've used happily, and other 
tools such as lout and scribus are also installed.

Can anyone on this list advise me as to what tools are preferred for 
technical writing in the Linux world?  I asked a technical writer about 
TeX and lout and she looked at me like I *was* a lout.. <rimshot>

Thanks in advance.
