There are times where you can't just work in the styled view. For example, in MathML you typically have content elements at least nested inside an 'mrow' element which is nested inside a 'math' element. Both 'mrow' and 'math' are styled inline and so, since they have no text content, if you lose the focus on the 'mrow' element, you need to switch to the tree view to be able to re-select the element and insert content. In other editors, they give a more compact infoset tree for quick navigation or structure-related issues like the above. That might be something to consider (e.g. a read-only navigation tree).
