Well, now you need a Distill WYSIWYG, to make it usable (for most of the intended audience).
Hey let's be honest, most academics (that I know) still don't even use LaTeX (or refuse to do so). This is really cool, but requires way too many skills (in js/css3/html5/distill-extensions and node.js).
Personally, my team and I had really great experience with sharelatex.com, whom only I had knowledge about LaTeX. I liked that it's also opensource with a permissive license. I would rather host that on sandstorm.io the next time, or just pay for the comfort offered by overleaf.com (I've never seen such a beautiful colloborative LaTeX Editor).
• What about vendor lock-in?
• Can you export to LaTeX, Word or PDF?
• Can you selfhost it for your team or company?

- j2kun 10y agoI agree with you here, and have no idea what the OP is talking about. In Math and ML, TeX is so ingrained in the culture that there are _jokes_ based on TeX puns. (Where do mathematicians go for a rational rack of ribs? The \mathbb Q)
- kriro 10y agoTo my surprise certain subfields of CS don't use LaTeX at all or rarely and use MS-Word instead. You kind of have no choice since the conference/journal templates are only provided in one format (well you can create your own template but only if they accept PDF entries...yes some only accept Word files).
