There are indeed!  Most of the reasons why I like LyX have been mentioned 
already, but one that I find particularly important is the quality of the 
printed output (thanks to TeX!).   Working in an academic setting, it's 
important for my materials to "look academic".  I recently gave a symposium 
presentation on academic writing where I showed the audience the same article 
(from an academic journal) produced in two different ways.  For one I 
converted the original PDF document to ASCII, imported it to LyX and just put 
in a few appropriate paragraph environments.  For the other, I opened the 
text file in MS Word, changed the fonts to things like MS Comic Sans and put 
in some unnecessary borders.  They got the point!
