I'm glad LyX is going strong in 2020. A friend of mine suggested me LyX many years ago - he wrote a thesis on their EE department. On the other hand, we in the Math department had to learn Latex, because well, it is standard in that field.
These days I'm using org-mode [1] because I can easily dump something in Latex/PDF (which I prefer) and export that in Word or odt (which I don't like) but is standard in the corporate world. However, when I see someone is struggling with Latex (or is scared of it), I suggest LyX with all my heart. I believe LyX can be a good entry for Latex world.
