The documentation in later versions is a lot better, though still
incomplete. A Debian package of the new 0.12 version has just been
uploaded.

Type the LaTeX sequence in TeX mode (toggle the TeX button on the toolbar).
You can also select a sequence and click on TeX to put it into TeX mode.
TeX sequences show in red on the screen.

I think people are using it for theses. I use it for correspondence and
my company accounts.
If you need help that the documentation doesn't give, subscribe to the LyX

The message address is lyx-users@fiwi02.wiwi.uni-tuebingen.de; I can't
remember the subscription request address, but it's in the documentation
somewhere.
