so this is basically latex, with with support for unicode and difficult font features... i'd love to see someone submit a different approach to writing technical documents. something that doesn't look like the macro system of latex, or a soup of XML tags.

The least of my complaints about LaTeX is how it looks. I don't mind the markup at all. Now, the complexity of the whole system, that's what I have a problem with.

I've mentioned it before, but Pandoc is a nice workaround; it can convert Markdown (and a few other input languages) into LaTeX. It comes with a shortcut for taking Markdown and generating a PDF out of it via LaTeX. http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
