> Can make LyX work with TEX files as native document format? .lyx file stores more information than a .tex file can ever store. For example, the change-tracking feature can save changes and produce different output (different .tex files) with or without revision marks. The branch feature can save different 'versions' of the same document. The yet-to-come embedding .lyx file can save dependent files along with .lyx file. Using .tex as the native lyx format would seriously limit what lyx can do.
