There are use-cases for both:
* A book with chapters in separate files with heavy cross-linking.
- with include/includeonly -> view := view-child
- with input -> view := view-master
* Stand-alone documents that also have a "wapper" document
-> view := view-child
* Beamer presentations with master == beamer article
-> view := view-child
I don't think there is a strong case for change (never touch a running
system). OTOH, users with a strong preference for
view := view-master or view-standalon
should be able to customize LyX.
However, the most important is to keep View and Export preferences in
sync. It would be a bad surprise to View the master as default but export
would only work from the master buffer!
