Yes, this is the main reason for me as well. I have really hard time not
to fiddle with some LaTeX details when editing LaTeX documents in vim
and it gets me distracted from my work.

On the other hand -- I feel that time is coming that some improvement in
LyX bare-bone editing capabilities is due: it still doesn't have
Ctrl/Alt+T from emacs (switching letters, words) and many other things
which are just much better in my good text editor (in my case vim, but
emacs would serve as well). And yes, I think that scripting abilities
are long overdue as well.
Have a nice day,
