Some of us do, clients love the approach. Multiple outputs - no problem, an author can pick a stylesheet to apply to the content they are working on. Agreeing with Stewart here, authors prefer editing in a visual context; and saving them a preview click is worth it (if you value usefulness and usability). It's the job of the CMS to ensure structure and a good one should not force authors to think about that too much.
