one of the problems of tex is that (potential) users often first seen
the end products and working backwards from what one sees of not easy
with tex based systems
another aspect is that it's easy to get some results but more complex
demands need more complex solutions (hard coding each solution means
even more need for manuals and finally not being able to locate an
already given solution)
concerning the fact that you have to make a decision for a longer span
of time, it's good to know that tex is normally quite stable and has
survived other systems quite well, and that's unlikely to change; and we
have no intentions to quit development (after all, development of mkiv
is taking quite some of our resourceses and will do so for the next
couple of years)
