I suspect I'm not part of this "we", but for a different "we": we get
them via dblatex + (Xe)LaTeX. That gave us the ability to mix
left-to-right and right-to-left scripts and still get well-typeset
results, as well as typesetting tables that ran > 1 page (maybe that's
doable with other methods, not sure), and interlinear text examples
(which "we" linguists like to use, but are quite difficult to typeset
without LaTeX tools).
But I suspect most people don't have our needs, so for most of you this
would be overkill.
