Just came across this, thought people here might appreciate it:
"Quality was not the only way in which groff surprised me: it has
serious speed too, especially in comparison to LaTeX ...
"In fact, many of the advantages of using groff are the same as
LaTeX, but with the added advantage of speed and simplicity. Just
like with LaTeX, you can dive into the code to change a macro but,
unlike LaTeX, I have found Mom’s macros fairly understandable and
not nested ten layers deep in some ancient package ...
"Below a sample of the in–progress PhD. I don’t want laggy Word
and inconsistent styling issues. I don’t want KOMA-Script woes and
minutes–long compile times. I want something simple that works:
groff!"
