Some things TeX and troff are going to need in

1. Continue to be maintained

Well, someone could do what I tried (and failed) to do: make Word
produce high quality eqn/tbl/pic/troff source as their internal

There was such a thing for TeX, can't remember the name, but my
Dad (very computer not savvy) used it to write a book. It was
WYSIWYG but spit out TeX.
