Why? It's been part of LaTeX for, oh, nearly 2 decades now... And just because it doesn't show on the GUI doesn't make it invalid. Long Live WYSIWYM! So, it has its place. Needed to avoid too much ERT, which is such an anathema these days. <grumble> Since most users won't touch it most of the time, that makes it a *perfect* candidate for the Extended.lyx manual. [See?
