I know. But I find that attitude strange as long as LyX does not support
everything that LaTeX does. And for various reasons (both practical and
theoretical) LyX _never_ will support everything LaTeX does.

Exactly.

But there is no need to put off users by not being as nice as possible -
especially when "being nice" does not cost anything.

Maybe your usage of LyX is somewhat different from that I see (I have not
really _used_ LyX for a while now myself), but having more red than black
text is not unusual. And that's no abuse of ERT for something that LyX
could do but the only way to get it done _somehow_.
