Groff is great. I went through a phase of doing reports for work using groff and one of the cool things is that on W Richard Stevens' website there were all his groff macros he used to produce all the beautiful diagrams in TCP/IP Illustrated etc. So I used to have lovely diagrams with spline curves etc thanks to W Richard Stevens.

The great thing about groff (compared in my experience with latex) is that you spend basically zero time on formatting/messing about once you have a set of macros you like, and the document production cycle is really fast so you edit with zero distractions using basically plain text (a lot like markdown) and then any time you want to see the finished product it's very quick to see it.
