So do I. But I hate writing *roff markup even more. So I don't write
either of those formats directly if I can avoid it.

I write my man pages in either Docbook (using an XML editor) or reST (my
default markup format these days), then convert to *roff.

Right. The Unix manual system allows a consistent place for operating
system documentation. That includes, but is not limited to, the commands
to be typed at the command line. Please preserve that consistency by
maintaining man pages for commands.
