No, the other way around.
There are many people that don't know how to use a computer, just as there are many people who don't know how to drive a race car. Both create a lot of problems.
The computer is the race car of computing devices, and as such, one would do best to study how it's used before trying to do it. If you don't, you'll crash and burn and get nothing done.

Hehe. I did that with my thesis in LaTeX, but used Mercurial. (It was just new, and wanted to see if it was indeed better than SVN.)
Maybe I should look into Pandoc. I don't know if something like Markdown can do include files or something like it. It'd be needed. I'll not write an entire book into one file.
