Relatively easy on the eye, more maintainable, active community around
the Sphinx tooling / extensions, not extremely arcane syntax (besides
some weird quirks), etc.

Take a look at its output (from a random page out of kernel
documentation):

LWN did some analysis[1][2] on how the Linux kernel arrived at rST (with
Sphinx).

An example rendering of a document from the QEMU Git tree:

Not sure if that's improvement in your judgement, though. :-)
