I've had the same experience. Despite the momentum behind XML,
SGML+DocBook(DSSSL)+jade+[jadetex,pdfjadetex]+Makefile+emacs(psgml)
is a great, multiplatform toolchain which you can start using
this afternoon.
If you are *already* running other XML applications, and have
therefore already vetted a toolchain, you can also start using
DocBook XML this afternoon.
