I was at a talk by Rasmus Lerdorf where he contended that simple web-scripting languages designed to be easier than PHP one day grow to "become" PHP. And, it's true. The same goes for TeX, the problem of typesetting is hard and if you want the flexibility and the features of TeX then it may well be that TeX is "simple" as it can be. Also, TeX may have it's complexities but have you ever tried doing a bulleted list inside a numbered list in MS Word.... I'd rather try to solve global warming in Emacs Lisp!
