I really tried to write in ReST but there is nothing intuitive about the syntax and I kept forgetting how to do things, it also makes the plain text unnecessarily verbose and does not support simple things like combining styles (i.e. good luck if you want something be monospaced AND bold without terrible kludges). In the end I converted to Asciidoc, it does all I need, is readable and is not as python-centric as docutils (I use the python implementation but asciidoctor is ruby and there's even a chrome extension for live preview in the browser).
