What do you use it for?

I'm trying to think of the use case where Markdown in VIM is not enough, but LibreOffice is too much. For what it's worth Bash is my file manager and I practically live in the CLI. I do write some technical documentation to go with my code, in Markdown. I recently wrote a long report in LibreOffice for a medical malpractice suite - I made extensive use of headings, paragraphs, quotes, tables, and bold text. My work templates have page headers and footers with page numbering, sparse embedded graphics, tables, a table of contents, and sometimes code snippets with syntax highlighting.

Additionally, all my document types use RTL text, which WordGrinder does not support. So I am more interested in the general feasibility of such an app, than in actually trying to replace LibreOffice with WordGrinder (at least until RTL support is added).
