What is the real state of the troff land?  What are the other
players beyond groff?

Some people still use the now defunct troff version of QuadSoft (many
syntactical extensions implemented in groff resemble its format), many
use Sun's troff (based on AT&T), and others rely on Plane 9's troff
(based on AT&T, but extended to work with Unicode, more or less,
IIRC).  There are other troff implementations too, but AFAIK they are
all based on the old AT&T troff.

Interesting. How many of those are in active use, beyond formatting
manpages, I wonder....
