I don't disagree, but sometimes it is helpful to maintain a file to be
able to work with plain LaTeX also with a minimum of change
(especially in case one has collaborators who use only LaTeX). Or
perhaps, after well over a decade of using LaTeX and just some months
of Xe(La)TeX, my LaTeX vāsanā is still strong and I still think ASCII
and lots of backslashes. In time, perhaps, I shall become a proper
Unicode zealot.
