One reason I avoided LaTeX is that I was unsure just how my macros would conflict with what was in LaTeX.
I'm sure LaTeX has a lot of super tricky stuff that does really good stuff and was too much work for me to implement, but with LaTeX if something went wrong then I'd be stuck-o since I would not be able to debug LaTeX.
So, TeX it is. If there are bugs in my macros, then I fix the bugs.
Yes, I got around to TeX in about 1998 on OS/2. Now on Windows, It's my standard for all more serious word whacking, of course, especially for anything mathematical.
My TeX setup has a converter from TeX's DVI file type to PDF, and my Adobe Acrobat reader can print to FAX, and my computer has a FAX modem card I run my land line phone through. So, net, I can send letters from TeX to Congress!
