    I've recently started a part-time MSc (with no prior degree or university experience) and I've found Typst brilliant. I've been using this template - https://typst.app/universe/package/ilm/ https://typst.app/universe/package/ilm/. The UX has been simply amazing, there is a VSCode extension that allows you to have the raw text content open in one tab on the left and the pdf on the right, with it updating everytime you save. I also think it has translated to better grades, given some of the marks come from structure and presentation! For example, in my last essay I was using Binary Search Trees, wouldn't you know, there's a package that allows you to draw them easily! Seriously, I can't sing it's praises enough. I'm sure if I was doing some more complex writing Latex may be the more appropriate choice but Typst's plug-n-play approach has been so smooth
