ehh?
troff/groff formatting blows goats. It's awkard to work with and cumbersome at the very least.
True, there are some m4 macro's to make life easer, but m4 also sucks.

Maybe. Postscript as a language is cutesy and fun for a few things, but for document layout, it also blows goats.
I really don't understand why Adobe went this way and didn't try to learn stuff from Knuth's experiences with TeX, in components and their predecessors.
Basically, all document formatting systems on this planet suck. This is a fact, no an opinion. I am right. I'm always right. Don't argue.
