There is the occasional extreme fine tuning of the preamble issue for conference
papers (very rare) and it can be a bit difficult to collaborate with latex only
users (when I need to reincorporate changes into the document).

Note that anything that lyx doesn't know how to do directly can be done by
inserting a latex box. BTW these things get fewer and fewer by the
version.
