Mainly as a testing tool I think, because if you get a reasonable result in
Lynx, you are sure all other browsers see something reasonable, including
webtv and search-engines, and your site will be easily adapted for PDA and
WAP-phone use.

A nice help in testing how your site degrades is here:

includes a Lynx viewer, webtv viewer, search-engine viewer, and lots more.
