I always bristled at SILE being described as a typesetting program.
It's a desktop publishing suite. The whole advantage of roff and TeX is
that you're freed from micromanaging everything. SILE takes that base
from TeX, and then puts back in all the knobs that a certain kind of
person likes to fiddle with. This means if you're collaborating with
any sized group on a document, and you're using SILE, someone will turn
it into a figure-positioning bikeshedding competition.
