Elliotte Rusty Harold:
And certainly XML is easier to use than TeX.
Huh?
Huh indeed

As if simply typing XML (say docbook) gives you what TeX gives you. To get that type of output, you'd not XML (docbook) + XSLT + XSL-FO or something like that. Since XSLT is a programming language (in XML, GACK!), I hardly think it qualifies as easier than TeX, which can be used as simply (well, complexly) a way to format a document.
Huh^2

I suppose it might well depend on what you mean by 'use'. ISTM that TeX is a much more 'humane' system for writers though.
