Sure, they're a really nice and intuitive way to do.

I vaguely remember something went wrong with verbatim stuff. But I honestly
have had no problems with org-special-blocks [¹] + org-babel for the last
couple of days, since I re-enable it. So, was my problem transient?  Was it
something else?  I can't tell exactly anymore.

So, I now have both enabled by default in my .emacs, and they love each other
right now.

Best regards,
  Seb

[¹] but the problems described in my previous post ("Error when exporting to
    LaTeX")... Partly, but not only it seems, the lack of way to pass
    parameters along with the environment.
