It's really easy to convert to other formats ( even HTML ) so it's not like you're missing anything. And most of all, the files are structured.
Now, I get it that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the kind of support and features LaTeX already has, I don't see why anyone would want to move on in the first place. The alternative offers slightly less and at no "significant" advantage. So what I think is, the community would prefer LaTeX in the foreseeable future.
