I think Lyx lacks classes in order to make different kinds of documents. It's very easy to make an article, a book or whaterver you want, but as soon as you want to make somthing else (eg : a thesis, ...), it's a little more complicated and if you are not a programer or a Latex user, it's a little hard.
nonsense, you are not the first one who wants to right a thesis
Would it be hard to propose a system that would allow users to define themselves the classes they want, in a simple way (eg : like OpenOffice does for exemple, so I could define 9 parts/ chapters/ titles/ sections/ subsections/ subsubsection/ subsubsubsubsection and so on...) ?
LaTeX knows by default: part | chapter | section | subsection | subsubsection | paragraph | subparagraph
and more is not senseful or do you mean that 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 looks really nice??
