I used LaTeX extensively at uni for my BSc/MSc then took a 30Y+ break to earn a living, now I am back using LaTeX for journal papers for my PhD.
I didn't stop caring about good typography and typesetting, eg I edited a supercomputing trade rag for a while.
And I don't like flaky WYSIWYG editors, so have preferred (say) HTML over Word for most of my text output.
But I just didn't have cause to use LaTeX or maintain that toolchain for decades away from academia, so I didn't.
- amichail 1y agoWhat do you think of WYSIWYG editors that are not flaky, namely TeXmacs and its fork Mogan?
- DamonHD 1y agoI use LibreOffice for when I have to interoperate with people using Word. It is OK. I use vi and plain text (or marked up, eg HTML or Markdown) where possible. I don't wan't to get into opaque binary formats with possibly limited life.
