Why I still use TeX? First of all, it still compiles my documents and samples from 1998. Try that in any other equally sophisticated system. Second, it is the only system where I can expect a constant error rate. No feature is "done in no time", but can be solved in a rather constant time using Google and some TeX knowledge. In other systems, I am usually lost, because most of the stuff has not been tried or is not intended. Also, it is actually quite fast in batch usage. If you want to have a look at what can be done with TeX, have a look at the PGF documentation. Also, don't mistake TeX with LaTeX, there are other TeX environments around that are better in certain regards.
