So there are engineers building component CMSs for Markdown to help engineers edit product docs, and there are product people building component CMSs for DITA XML to help product people edit customer docs, and never the twain shall meet because an engineer would rather jump into a burning building than share a repo with DITA XML. Even when there's an interface layer on top of it with features that are fully indistinguishable from this product.
The future is batshit. I hate DITA and I still think this is deeply funny, in the same way as falling into my own grave and realizing they're throwing dirt on me would be funny.
