Mostly to mikolas, but really just a general comment since I am interested and don't find too much discussion about LP tools anywhere so I am happy to take part in any!  My goals are perhaps different than many programmers because I am an educator looking for ways to get students to write about code as well as write the code itself. I believe it helps to learn if you have to explain in English and has the added benefit of being able to include graphics, screen images, test results, etc. all in one place. So far, I am completely sold on the idea. The only difficulty is that beginning students are already struggling with learning a new language (C++) and now I also ask them to learn nuweb, and latex (but limited subsets). I think it is worth it.
