I'll try (but bear in mind that I am not the one who wrote this
recommendation in the NR). ;-)

Yeah, that's one point, the MIDI rendering.
But I think the main argument would be that AFAIK it is *impossible*
to use \alternative *without* using \repeat volta first.

Is \repeat volta 2 really more tedious than \bar "|:" ?
You'll need to convince me on that one!
\repeat volta 2 (and the appropriate indentation) clearly shows what
are the repeated passages.
Furthermore I guess it should be possible to easily remove the repeats
by removing the Volta_engraver (I never tried). How would you tweak
the Bar_engraver to engrave normal bar lines but to replace repeat
bar lines by normal ones? Maybe possible but not easy, isn't it?

Do I need to say that \repeat volta 2 does that automatically? :-)
