Requires sign-in the moment you want to explore. Hard no from me. Cooking is even harder when you have to deal with mandatory sign-ins.

I don't know if it's perfect, but I have yet to meet anything better. I discovered it late in my 20-year technical writing career, and it felt like meeting an old friend for the first time.

The trouble with DITA is that it is very often accompanied by its own very opinionated toolchain, although of course it's not mandatory. There are better ways to write docs nowadays than wrestle with XSL/FO and its brethren.
