It is too complex compared to Markdown and hasn't got enough features to be comparable to Latex. And I still (almost) use the samé Latex templates that I used at university, 25 years ago.

I feel the complexity is justified. One of the biggest gripes I have with markdown is that you never know whether your markdown implementation is github flavoured or some other implementation. Not to mention Sphinx checks your links / references to other pages exist and give you warnings if you don't have them.
