For researchers and graduate students and researchers who are NOT in
the field of mathematics or computer science, TeX, LaTeX, LyX, etc
aren't quite friendly enough when customizing to very specific dissertation
requirements, or journal requirements.

around here.

Tiddlywiki, bibtex, and I know people who are taking advantage of some
of the audio/video apps as research tools.  I forget the specifics,
but will try to get them to you.
