If you're comfortable managing that kind of tool chain, then yeah, that's a good comparison. Many people would prefer to focus on creating the content of the document rather than installing and configuring software.
- yellowapple 12y agoWhat toolchain? You run a command-line program. Installing pandoc isn't terribly hard (I just did it on this particular Mac in about a couple minutes). I think you're exaggerating the difficulty of your competition. :)
- jagthedrummer 12y agoLemme guess, you're a developer/sysadmin/techie type? :) This is a tool for people who don't want to be anywhere near a command line.
