The problem with "secretary's editors" like MS Word or Open/LibreOffice is that they waste user's time with formatting and other non-content related activities. With LaTeX and derivatives such as LyX, the user is free to be productive. When I was working on my MSc paper, ages ago, I wrote some 40 pages in two months on Word, then converted it to LyX and created 40 more pages in just one week.
