Your arguments make sense. However, I think many people must have my problem.
Perhaps it would be sufficient to provide a way to keep the .lyx file and the
.tex file in sync. Whenever one of the two would get changed, lyx would
automatically import/export. This approach would then work for all file formats
for which there is an import and an export handler. It would make my life
dramatically easier when trying to collaborate via svn/git/...
you are right that many people complain about this. but the basic problem is
that lyx is not good tool for your task. if you need to cooperate with
.tex-only people the last thing is to use lyx for it. change tracking this way
must be nightmare indeed.

Well, as I said, with automatic sync I do not think it would be so much of a
nightmare anymore. And, for me at least, editing formula-heavy .tex is also not
very enjoyable.
It shouldn't be too hard to set that up externally. Maybe it's just a
matter of comparing timestamps and then running either "lyx -e tex" or
tex2lyx, as the case may be.
