I love LaTeX for docs that simply use one of the built-in documentclasses -- and which use no extra packages or custom commands or environments.
I strongly dislike it for anything else. Getting anything non-default to work right has always been a major headache for me.
Also, conversion to html should be easier. Last time I looked, latex2html was pretty much unmaintained and also a bear to even get installed (if your OS doesn't already provide a package for it).
Texinfo might be a good substitute for LaTeX, but it's a bit clunky with manually specifying menus (nodes and sections)... though I know that Emacs will do that for you.
