Small report from personal experience: I wrote the documentation for a project (~ half a bachelors thesis) with Typst. The writing experience was easy and nice, much better compared to the few Latex documents I worked on. Two main struggles I remember:
- We split the "paper" into multiple Typst files. While this organized our content nice, the VSC extension didn't recognize the bibliography imported in another file and displayed errors. Nothing major but certainly annoying.
- It couldn't deal well with SVGs and diagrams in general, so we resorted to just export graphics and include them as images.
6/10 would use again and I'm excited for the new release.

FYI the workaround to solve this is to go to the "root" file and run the "pin current file as main" or something like that of your Typst LSP. Unfortunately this needs to be done every time you reopen your project.
