The fact is that it's much harder to train people who haven't had programming experience (e.g. biologists or medical doctors) to use this stuff. Word does the same thing pretty well (better imho, the reviews interface is intuitive), and has plenty of citation managers too
- _delirium 15y agoIt's also close to impossible if the journal or conference doesn't give you a LaTeX stylesheet, which is uncommon outside physics/math/CS. Sure, you can in principle produce your own stylesheet conforming to the formatting requirements, but even most seasoned LaTeX users find the stylesheet language to be black magic (I dread having to make even minor edits to a stylesheet). Matching citation styles used to be a problem also, but tools like Jurabib and Biber have mostly solved that problem.
