Now that you mention it, I think that I could give Latex to my father and he would probably pick it up fairly quickly. As would anyone who remembers wordperfect. Most people back then learned the "view codes" mode of wordperfect because it sidestepped the problems of wysiwig editing. Even my mother, who is entirely non-technical used the codes view at times.
