Rich, in general I agree, but multirow is a bit special: You have to use
dirty tricks like putting a % in an ERT box in some cells if you want to
use the \multirow command in LyX tables (and don't want to set the whole
tables as ERT).
So it would really be useful to have native multirow support, but the day
has only so many hours and the number of LyX developers is small.
