I like that groff and TeX are rock solid and well

Sadly, however, if word of their existence doesn't get out there, I see
them both disappearing in not much longer than a generation. This would be
sad indeed.
As long as man pages are formatted with ?roff, I don't see it going
away. I don't suppose many people use troff any more, but there are
enough of us, and as long as man pages stay the way they are, I don't
think we're in any danger.
