If you have editors, typesetters, and ebook makers (or simply don't care that the markup in your ebooks is hideously bloated and/or unintelligable), then you can write however you want. Somebody else will deal with the mess that is your ebook.
But if you write AND create your own ebooks (or have any regard whatsoever for the people who do it for you), refusing to learn how to do it more efficiently and/or cleanly with the latest tools at your disposal is lazy at best, and inconsiderate or incompetent at worst.
Not sure why so many writers believe their craft should be the only one exempt from change/evolution/improvement. I suspect it's mostly dogma masquerading as art. "I can't write a sentence unless it's with Word Star on my Commodore 64 while wearing my favorite slippers."
