Not having a revision history seems like a show stopper to me. I haven't written anything with more than a few lines, neither source code nor prose, in years without using a revision control system. This is the main reason I prefer LaTeX over anything else for creating documents: it works so well with git.

how are you comparing LaTeX to focuswriter? and how does LaTeX have git integration?

I write plenty of things in LaTeX using software that doesn't have revision control. You have to drop out to save things to git. It would be nice if it autosaved into git revisions. But this is irrelevant to whether you're using LaTeX or markdown or just plain text.

I use the LaTex plugin for Eclipse, paired with the EGit plugin you have a LaTex editor with git support.
