I don't think that's why it was called "evil". The evilness comes from the
fact that you're formatting, presumably within \mainmatter, in a one-off
kind of way instead of using environments or character styles. ERT within
\mainmatter is often an indication of fingerpainting.
I really don't think anyone on this list thought of LaTeX as evil, as long
as it was in your layout file where it belongs.
No, it was so named, because it appeared in red in your text.
And evil in the sense, that sometimes you had to use it, although you tried to
make everything with lyx-commands only.
Evil as in "necessary evil", I take it.
