Very interesting discussion. At some point in the evolution from the basic
text editor, using something like LaTeX makes more sense.
There's no useful concept in software, no matter how simple, that won't be
seized immediately and abused beyond its authors wildest speculations.
(Back when the Osborne portable computer was sold with a spreadsheet and
word processor bundle, the world immediately divided into 2 groups.
Spreadsheet users who wanted to write an occasional letter would create a
66-character wide column and type in it, and writers who would do any
arithmetic required with Wordstar's primitive commands.
