I disagree: one can both select text (highlighting it to operate on it) and
highlight the text (e.g., through syntax highlighting). In particular, Vim
can look like a veritable Christmas tree with different colors everywhere.
However, this is all up to user preferences. The defaults are quite sane.
Speaking of highlighting: is there a way to highlight text in LyX (e.g.,
\hl{...} via soul) without ERT? I can change its color, but not its
background...

True, but I think that (a) the option is there in LyX already so it should
be preserved and (b) part of open source philosophy is freedom to choose
... which may extend down to cursor color.

Aye. I'm able and willing to work on all three major OSs, but choose OSX.
However, I very quickly install LyX and Vim no matter where I am if I will
be there for any length of time.
