In daily life #orgmode for everything, todo lists, agenda, spreadsheet, slides…
For complex, long-lived documents (user manuals), I strongly prefer (duck and cover) #DocBook. With #Emacs #nxml-mode, it is not as bad as it might sound.
Esp. when working with multiple authors, having to adhere to a strict #XML schema is a blessing. Unfortunately, org does not even have a complete (!) BNF.
I want to spin up replacement mailing lists for #DocBook users now that they won't be hosted by OASIS anymore. (Nevermind that IT chaos at OASIS means none of the lists are working very well.) Is there an ethical open source collective sort of place that will let me pay them to do this? The lists are free for users, of course, and I don't generate any revenue from them, so it would have to be a not too expensive place.
fwiw, I used #DocBook #SGML in #Emacs to generate LaTeX/LilyPond, even when Macmillan demanded I submit MSWord¹ docs, I'd just emit them as an output! Mind you, that was last century, but I'd still do it that way today, if I had to.
