I use LyX to write academic papers and really love it. Sure, there are quirks, but it's still makes for a better workflow compared to the alternatives.

Especially important for me:

- track changes, which makes collaboration convenient (especially with less technically-oriented colleagues)

- math typesetting with instant preview

- integrated BibTex support, which makes citing easy

- easy to reference equations, tables, and figures in the text
