The single biggest problem is the table structures. Using
ReStructuredText if you are not using a monospace font, forget it.

The second problem is that section heads require "underlines" of the
same length as the text. Another indicator that monospace fonts are
built into the very fabric of the markup language.

Thirdly Asciidoc is just better on all metrics of usability and
utility.

The last is a value judgement. ;-)
