Interesting question... how many such documents have been written using
LyX?
I've written something like 10-20 documents (not counting presentations
created with LyX). If ten documents is a typical number, and LyX has
hundreds of users, we'd be talking about thousands of documents prepared
with LyX.
Actually... I wonder how many users are subscribed just to the users' list?
Interesting,

Hi,
I wrote my PhD with LyX (that was 1.2 and early 1.3 at that time). Then
I used it for some technical documentation at my previous company (1
file) and at my current company (I have 4 LyX 1.6 documents under work
at present). I also wrote one course I gave to students many years ago
with LyX, and for fun, I once started to transfer some old
role-playing-game rules I wrote in the 80s-90s to LyX... so that would
only be 8 :-(
On the following page:
http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses.html
You can find at least 3 PhD theses written with LyX:
I convinced Manuel Bouvier ("Diffractive liquid crystals optical
elements") and Frédéric Gonté ("Applications of Optical Wavefront
Modulation with Deformable Membrane Mirrors") to use LyX. Mine is
"Far-field beam shaping elements for deep UV lithography" (very little
scientific value, but I'm proud of the layout ;-) ).
We used a mix of LyX under linux and LyX under Windows (that was hard at
that time, it was using an Xserver and many features were not fully
working on Windows).
Other theses listed on that page were using LaTeX or Word.
Best regards,
Olivier
