The "all in an Emacs buffer" is appealing but
the Achille's Heel is that an Emacs buffer,
compared to a PDF document or HTML website, is
a cup from which only a select few dare
drink...

As for me, it feels like all the wonders
I create already have a minimal audience.
To a huge part, this is a human, not technology
problem. But I don't want to put up even more
palisades. Besides, I have no problem with
LaTeX or HTML. So I always want to use the
biggest thing which still is to my liking.
So far, that has meant small enough things as
it is...
