Good luck with that with book reviewers working for traditional book
companies such as APress or Addison Wesley.
Even so, the review GUI and flow is far, far more advanced and easier to
use in Word than in any source control tool you can find.
I disagree. Or, better: if you're referring to using a GUI, Word does it
better than any markup-based approach. But I don't feel I'm in control.
With markup I can apply all the usual procedures I know, for instance
computing a 'diff'. Not mentioning the fact that I can easily see the
differences among committed versions in the past, which I think it's
almost impossible with Word.
Sure, with a markup based text in order to have a manageable diff you have
to keep the markup itself formatted in a canonical way. It's not always
easy to do.
