Quick note on Serna. I recently started using the
latest version (2.1). It is indeed easy to use
for the most part. It does not necessarily do PDF
right out the box as they're looking to get
Antenna House sales (as best I can tell).

Serna in combination with a good XML editor like
Oxygen can't be beat but there's alot to learn
there. If you're not afraid to role your own
stuff, the price is pretty good. 

Serna is quite capable as an authoring tool. It
is very Vex-like but has a bit more spit and
polish.
