No - I have no particular preference wrt. to the markup language. I can personally live with all of them, and I like none of them. I hear that contributors complain about having to use TeX, and I hear other people say that they were more happy if they could use ReST instead of TeX. Making contributors happy is really what the objective should be (if the quality of the typesetting output is adequate - and most people use the HTML output these days, where latex2html may not have adequate quality). That docutils happens to be written in Python should make little difference - it's *not* part of the Python language project, and is just a tool for us, very much like latex and latex2html.
