i am studying CS an we had to use it (not learn it ;) ) in the 3rd semester to hand in reports in their special format. I first thought this is stupid, but later when i needed it (my math proseminar, CS proseminar then now (or next semester) my bachelor-thesis), i could already do simple things. So in hindsight it was a good move from my university. But i was always a bit disappointed, because i had to try hard to keep my source readable. LATEX really clutters your enumerations, equations etc with way to much syntax. I always thought about writing a simple Markdown-with special math mode (similar to AsciiMath)-to-LATEX compiler.
