It really depends on the subject matter and symbol set - in stats classes I took notes in a LaTeX dialect which sorta worked but took a lot more mental effort than handwriting, but I was also actively trying to train myself into using TeX style expression so it was worth it - for just taking down notes hand-writing can definitely be faster and more legible for anything with lots of weird symbols.
