I guess he means in a wysiwyg way. That's all fun and game till you have to open a different editor for multimedia stuff, render the document and update it "blindly" in the source so everything works...

Doesn't even take until then before it fails for me...wysiwyg formats are traditionally a nightmare for version control systems. All my plaintext notes in Markdown and Asciidoc can be checked in without a problem :-)
I did mean a wysiwyg style yes.
If it is more than step 1 cut, step 2 paste, the tool has too many steps for my workflow, which like other users have posted is mostly a braindump of knowledge or context around several tables, links, and images/screenshots, sometimes with digital ink if I'm on a device with an active stylus.
But for producing formal documents, I have checked out asciidoc before and have respect for its capabilities, I just don't consider it in the running for my particular workflow as I see it as a different tool.
I'm not after version control for my notes though I know many others like it.
