Philippe, Once you use a retina display, anything else is hard on the eyes. And the LyX font issue on retina is a bit annoying because, by comparison, everything else looks so clean. However, it certainly is not "unusable" and for anyone to claim otherwise is a bit of an overreaction.
I have been using LyX on a Retina-MBP since these were first released a few years back, and use LyX frequently. While I would love to see native retina support in LyX, a lack of support would certainly not dissuade me from purchasing a retina MBP and using LyX on it daily.
