>Documentation is meant to be read by everyone, not make you feel good about being forced to write it.

I think you missed the point you were trying to make here because nobody has any difficulty reading the PDFs rendered from latex.

Yes, but maintaining documentation in PDF is not.

Half the people that manage our doc are non-programmers. They're not learning LaTeX. They're not editing raw PDFs while the other half of the team uses LaTeX.

Then you should have focused on maintainability in your comment, not legibility.
