LateX gives you a number of things: a) Significanlty better layout and rendering. b) Better control of rendering and layout, particular of things like mathematical formula. c) The ability to properly diff version of a document and to put a document in revision control and have the revision control system do sensible things with it. d) Improved ability to handle really large documents (ie things like PhD theses or complete books). e) A better separation of actual content from layout directives. There is little change of any WYSIWYG documentation package to ever catch up. I do however think there may be a LaTeX replacement at some stage, but that will most likely work much like LaTeX.
