GNU Troff is very capable system but it is very crude if you just use standard packages and pre-processors.
I'd use the words "somewhat limited" instead of "crude." The macros have a limited extent, but what they do, they do well. For me they cover the vast majority of what I have to do. Still, there are things that are irritating, such as trying to get refer to use an output format other than the very few that are supported.
