Well, HTML has come a long way between versions 1 and 5, and CSS has 
been advancing nicely as well.  It isn’t *quite* a replacement for a 
full-featured page layout app, but it has been more than enough to do 
all the general word processing tasks that used to require something 
like Word.

And that includes allowing for page breaks in paged media (I mainly 
just use “page-break-inside: avoid;” for major elements).  It’s just 
a bit *easier* to do with a WYSIWYG word processor vs. knowing the 
right HTML/CSS to use.  But I already know it since I do so much web 
development, so I don’t see it as a big hurdle.  And the ability to 
create HTML from Markdown is a nice continuum.  I know it’s not for 
everybody, but it can be a nice alternative process.
