I think there is a market for users who don't wanna bother with a "set of tools" as Manubot describes itself on the website.

While MonsterWriter uses LaTeX in the background, you do not see it. You only get the resulting pdf. Also, while it is possible to integrate with Zotero, you don't have to, you can just insert the DOI/ISNB/... into MonsterWriter and it will fetch the info as well.

It is the same problem with a pandoc-based workflow. You just end up yak-shaving and spending more time tuning the toolchain than with your writing work.
