I agree that raw latex insets in the editor are a nuissance, but the "latex preamble" does not distract from content. I also object "fighting ERT/preamble code" at any cost. There are just too many LaTeX packages and settings to support all natively. Every native setting adds to complexity and makes using and developing LyX more difficult. LaTeX-only settings are often easier to find in a TeX-stackexcange question or other documentation than in the LyX guide -- transferring them to LyX is then simple drag-and-drop into the user preamble. Reasons for native support in LyX are * sensible user feedback in the GUI * solve dependencies and conflicts * support for other export formats (html, text) BTW: how is the leqno setting handled in LyXHTML and text export? Actually, I propose a "2/3-hurdle" for any new setting: Only if at least one other developer supports a new setting or file format change and if the support outweights the objections by 2/3, a proposal should go in.
