They are as similar (or different) as COBOL and C. 

BTW, LaTeX is a set of macros built around TeX. 

Have met people who have written their Ph.D. thesis in troff. 

And I believe that troff is only a processor, you should be looking at
"groff" instead.

<flamebait>Why should anybody use Cobol or C when DotGNU is available?

I mean, OpenOffice.org.
