The motive was that it was a nightmare to maintain from a synchronization standpoint. Useful, sure, but otherwise an albatross around the neck of the devs whenever new features and/or tweaks were being introduced (from the few things I've gleaned).
I know a lot of people miss it, but I never did warm up to it, truthfully. The cursor would get lost all the time (as well as my place in the document), plus it would hang on me, and I'd have to wait for it to "catch up" to my edits. I said goodbye to it, myself, long before they officially got rid of it. I think it's been gone since the betas for 0.6, actually.
