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.
