I don't think that RST can be called as _failed_ or _more complex_. And as a 
person, who wrote numerous documents with Markdown, RST and some with AsciiDoc, 
I must admit that RST is most feature-complete and most readable in raw form - 
it is very clear and usable even without syntax highlighting. Everybody can 
judge it by yourself by looks on Python or Linux documentation ( _failed_ , as 
You said)...
