I was going to hold my tongue, but it started wagging anyway:

In my experience, notebooks don't really look nice when printed to
PDF, nor do they look nice when exported to HTML.

Some people have worked around this issue. Obviously, MathWorld is a
shining example. I have also seen PDFs, from people that post on this
group, that certainly look well done.

I think that the problem of (lack of ease of) exporting great looking
results is holding back Mathematica adoption.

I would pimp my own solution, MMADE, but it isn't easy to use. Maybe I
should have written it to use Mathematica for the building process
instead of Ant.
