I really don't think you'll be going out of business. XXE strikes a very nice balance between ease of use and XML capabilities. For authoring, I prefer it over the alternatives: it lets me focus on the writing more than all else.
And really, it would be foolish for XXE to try to be all things for all people. For starters, revisioning systems are a tough nut to crack, are already extremely well-implemented through several tools, and vary depending on the team's whims and wishes. I prefer Mercurial; others prefer Git; my old employer was committed to SVN. It just isn't practical for XXE to try to satisfy those needs independently. What might be swell, though, is tighter integration with the most-common tools. I'd never use the XXE interface for document control: I'm too fluent with command-line Hg to bother learning another task. But if I were to shape XXE into an editing tool for my SMEs to use to contribute feedback into my documentation, I would certainly consider providing a single-click button in the toolbar that pushes their remarks to the document repository. Which is to say I'm pretty sure XXE already supports this approach: it's just a matter of writing a configuration and script. > Our vision for all our > products is: do not try to resemble programmer's tool (IDEs, revision > control systems, build tools, etc), instead try to resemble Wikis.
