It is not LaTeX per se, I only borrowed (a subset of) its syntax.
My motivation is as follows: While line-based wiki markup is great for the basics (bold, italics, lists, tables), one runs quickly out of symbols. For more complex things, I thus would want my syntax to be extensible. That is: there should be commands with parameters etc. My understanding of this proposal is that if we standardize the command syntax (not the command names), then at the very least we have a generic way of hiding additional markup. At best, we might even have exchangeable quite complex markup.
As for understanding LaTeX: I've listed all relevant constructs above. I would not introduce anything more complex than this. I like the syntax because it is versatile, flexible and (at least some) people know of it. Furthermore, there are some Wiki extensions for typesetting math that use LaTeX. These would blend in naturally with a LaTeX command syntax. One problem might arise for Windows user, though: they might need the backslash for paths (as I'm only using Linux + Mac OS, I'm not sure how much of a problem this is).
In my implementation, both backslash and a single closed brace are protected characters. LaTeX (which can nest text blocks) is "dominant" while wiki markup (which is line-based) is parsed inside a text block. If you don't use any LaTeX at all, you are in the "global text block" and can use Creole as you'd expect.
