Let me preface this saying I'm mildly on the just-keep-ddoc side
of things....

If you don't know HTML, the ddoc macros the dlang.org site uses
will be pretty mysterious too. What is $(SPANC)? or $(DIVID),
without referring to html?
Secondly, all of the existing content will have to be converted.
Oh, that's trivial! dmd -D literally does that automatically.
And finally, what will we do about PDF, epub, and LaTeX
generation if everything is in HTML?
That's similarly extremely easy, actually IMO quite a bit easier
than messing with the ddoc macros, because HTML is a very easy
language to parse and transform, especially if written
semantically.
If you wish to go with another format like Markdown, we get to
the problems I listed here:
I agree, markdown is gross.
But the logo is a rather small part of the overall design.
Plus, there is the problem of brand recognition. Changing the
logo is not a small event in the grand scheme of things.
The new logo design still struck me as the same brand when I
first saw it.
