And also tables are a major pain in Latex. Also that it does not separate physical and logical formatting of text. Asciidoc is what I prefer now, as it is semantically equivalent to XML DocBook, which I find is a better designed system than Latex.

DocBook is not a typesetting system, but I agree it's almost ideal to compose a highly structured document.
