"Not equals", alternative way of writing !=.

I think they did it to make move to validation rules simpler for people who are used to MS Excel. Similarly you can write boolean logic "programmer style" (condition1 && condition2 || condition3) or Excel-like (OR(AND(condition1, condition2), condition3)).
