Or in the case of vi, my fingers. I've been known to write about Un*x  
topics in a GUI text editor, start jackhammering the 'j' key, and  
wonder why the cursor isn't moving down.

Is anyone collecting the "reasons for using groff" that have been  
going by in this thread? Such a collection would be a fine beginning  
to an advocacy/"Why Use groff" chapter in UTP (or a standalone web  
page). I'd be particularly interested in seeing James Deri send in a  
write-up about his monster print jobs. (We could put that under a  
heading like, "Scale THIS!" :-D)
