Give me somebody who uses markdown with pandoc and I'll be impressed.
Or emacs with org-mode.
Or writes it directly in LaTeX.
Or they manually create their own typography engine using ed, the standard editor.
Where are you on a scale from convenient to a precursor of XML?
Personally I write in org mode and export to LaTeX/pdf from there, so I'm at the convenience end of the scale, and the resulting file is probably less than a tenth the size of what someone would get from saving to pdf from Word.
