What about writing a letter to your bank? Or writing a short technical
document that has to include diagrams? Plain text can't really do these
things. Latex can do these things, but it's complicated. Whenever I
need to use Latex I have to look at lots of examples from the internet
or the last time I used it. Since I never write large reports using
Latex it's syntax never sticks in my head.
I use a word processor for these kind of things a present, Libreoffice. I'd
rather not do that though, it's clumsy. If I had the time I'd help with
adding RTF editing and/or word-processing to Emacs.
Something I'm considering is using info format. The info makeup is very
simple (for the GNU manuals it's compiled from sources in a TeX dialect
called TeXInfo, but it can be written directly). Another possibility is using
HTML.
