Of course. I've been on the LyX mailing list for years and there are many
publishers there, as well as independent book authors (my thesis template is
still being downloaded several times a day). LyX is a front end to LaTeX,
which is Swiss army knife to these people and the industry as a whole (some
use proprietary tools).
As usual, Gary Stewart doesn't know what he's talking about.
