Don't know about Emmanuel, but I use tex-mode.el because I much prefer
its C-c C-c and its indentation (no wonder: I wrote them).

Indeed, handling multiline font-lock elements is always a pain in the
rear, so I haven't tried to do it yet, especially since with LaTeX
there's always a risk of mis-parsing (it's nigh on impossible to parse
it reliably without (re)implementing TeX).
