Sorry, I can't let this comment pass.  First, let me say that I do not
suffer from the "my computer/OS is better/bigger/faster than yours."
However, when possible, I do try to use the most efficient tool for the
job at hand.  And in my opinion, the term "Unix desktop publishing tools"
is an oxymoron at best.  These tools are certainly not WYSIWYG and they
have severe limitations with respect to producing embedded graphics
within text.  I've used the Unix tools on many occasions and they do a
great job producing a memo or a long document ... just so long as that
memo/document doesn't need graphics.  If it does, it's time to pull out
scissors, ruler, scotch tape, and the almighty photocopier.  That's not
"trivial," in my estimation.  That's drudgery.

This is my opinion, not my employer's.
