It's the whole debate of fingerpainting vs styles. With a style (e.g.
using the Module), if you suddenly decide that your code bits should
be sans instead of monospace, you can easily redefine '\code' with one
touch in the Preamble; with fingerpainting, you have to do this
manually throughout the document as it is ill-advised to redefine
'\texttt'. See Emphasis vs Italic and Noun vs Small Capitals in LyX.
