I find it a bit amusing that I now use HTML for the very things I used to use nroff for: quick markup of a text file to make it print (or email) prettily, add headers/bold/italics, or fix really bollixed line breaks so I can just read a story on my screen. Toss in some HTML, throw Lynx at it, and bang, it's done. Especially since my nroff is currently so rusty that I need a cheat-sheet for it, but my HTML chops are current.
Note that I never used troff. If I'd gotten used to relying on troff, I might have wound up learning TeX by now.
I was all set to say "high level" and "can still write in it like breathing", but the more I thought about it, the more I thought I really should count programmable calculators as my first programming language, not BASIC. I was startled to see how many people had already answered the poll by the time I'd made the first scan for typos and thought about putting in my own answers.
