I've been using LaTeX for over 20 years and I still do not exactly understand what I am doing. I use LaTeX for papers in mathematics and computer science myself. But even at my relatively high-functioning level of misunderstanding, I have been unable to persuade environmental scientists and chemists to use LaTeX instead of Word.
