I’ve seen enough people failing to achieve what they want with LaTeX, and people making significant compromises in presentation because they either don’t know how to achieve something or can’t be bothered figuring it out or doing it. There are a great many things that it is capable of, but doesn’t make practical. LaTeX does not serve everyone’s needs. Not by a long shot.
- vstrava 4y agoCant be bothered seems more likely than can't figure something out. LaTeX has a huge stack exchange community and templates out the wazoo. No reason to think they can't accomplish everything they need, in a realistic context. LaTeX isn't for one time use, it's an investment that returns massively.
- bowsamic 4y agoI haven’t noticed anyone have any overwhelming issues with it for papers, articles, and theses. I’ve seen people struggle with posters and talks but that’s a good thing because talks made with LaTeX have way too much maths or text which is almost always bad
