Yeah, LaTeX pretty much covers this out of the box. Throw in bibtex and git and the bibliographic stuff and collaboration is done too, and probably done better

Yeah, LaTeX pretty much covers this out of the box. Throw in bibtex and git and the bibliographic stuff and collaboration is done too, and probably done better. I guess this misses "cut-and-paste is replaced with drop-n-drag", but you could probably find a text editor that does that if you want. Throw in emacs+auctex and latexdiff and I'm staying put for the time being.
