But \newpage does not necessarily end a page. In two column mode, it
ends a column, actually.

So you have \pagebreak (which additionally can take a parameter saying
how hard you want it to break the page), but this one is fragile and
breaks the page at the end of the current line (which is not a bad
idea, actually).

And then you have \clearpage and \cleardoublepage which additionally
flush floats and maybe make sure that you start again on a odd
numbered page.

I know I am trying to confuse you, but breaking a page is not a simple
thing to do :)

What we need is maybe a more general section break thing (like word)
that could break pages or break columns or handle frontmatter and
friends (which break the document in some sense)

Concerning \vspace, it also adds space after the end of the line
containing it, which is not going to be very intuitive for the user
(LyX cannot give wysiwyg indication of where the space will go).

I understand your concern about code, but how often do you really want
to insert such things in the middle of a paragraph?
