Logically, "<=" means the same as "< or ="
<> does not mean the same as "< or >"; it might just mean that they aren't comparable. Whether that is a strong enough reason to remove it is another question.
Visually, "==" looks very symmetrical and stands out nicely, while "!=" is asymmetric and jarring. "<>" has a visual symmetry that is a nice counterpart to "==". For me, that's enough of a reason to keep it.
