For what? They're for different things
xml or c, Sup Forums?
Depends. What are you trying to achieve?
After using latex to generate hundreds of pages of dynamically sized tables.
Fuck. That. Shit.

Might as well use Word.
Needs about as much resources.
Probably Markdown (or similar like RST/AsciiDoc) and then convert to LaTeX via pandoc for PDF output if required.
Actually, for work and hobby reasons I've been using an XML-based format like DocBook called S1000D. I convert to DocBook with XSLT and then let pandoc convert that to Markdown for READMEs in git repositories. For PDF output, you could probably write a LaTeX class to fit the specification, but currently I'm modifying some existing XSLT/FO scripts from GitHub.
> LaTeX for papers and equations in org-mode notes
> Markdown for blog posts and Github
Both have different strengths and uses.
Markdown, so I don't need to pull in 1.5 gigs of TeX Live
latex for everything
paint
Markdown for notes
Latex for serious
Why not use groff in that case?
Groff is a fine choice -- I was only answering between the options given in OP.
Markdown/Org + pandoc is the way to go.
Nobody should write latex in 2017.
Plain text with no markup or styling at all.
HTML or HDMI?
Pandoc
Markdown -> Pandoc -> Latex
Especially if you're collaborating with people who don't know shit about Latex or want a docx or some other crappy format.
If it's just about avoiding the boilerplate shit for shorter texts, you might as well use LyX.
Markdown for gtd
Latex is for literal autists, and I mean literal, I knew an autistic dude at work who would chronicle his daily life in latex on emacs. Great guy but I don't want to end up like him.
Lol wtf is markdown? Is it like latex for retards or something?
Markdown for anything I'm not really going to show anyone because it's quick.
If I'm writing up an analysis report, it's worth the extra tagging in LaTeX to make it look professional and have god-like code formatting.
Employers/clients love that shit.
