Anyone who uses DocBook for any serious documenting will become a convert.
I thought I was a dyed-in-the-wool YaTeX-mode LaTeX devotee and was
double sure of that when I first encountered the DocBook learning-cliff,
but now that I have 'mastered' the half-dozen keystroke commands I need
for basic operation, I may never go back to LaTeX.
That said, it is going to take some time to translate all the legacy LDP
documents to DocBook, and until that time, any updates to those documents
will need to be LinuxDoc (unless we use the opportunity of updates to
translate them).
