I have used LyX for a long time, and really like it, but I think this is its biggest weakness. I also think this is a major obstacle to its wider adoption. When I collaborate with somebody who does not use LyX I am forced to use LaTex, rather than to be able to show off how easy LyX is to use. I understand that it maybe very difficult convert an arbitrary LaTex file LyX, but it should be routine to convert a LaTex file constructed by LyX, perhaps by producing an extra helper file during the first conversion.
