I disagree that it is time to retire LaTeX, since it is not just about formulas. In the humanities, linguists are very fond of it for the use of diacritics and tables etc, while the humanities overall greatly profit from bib(la)tex. Furthermore, the KOMA-Script document classes give excellent calculated full-text page layouts without having to play with geometry. Additionally, hyphenation usually just works, microtypography is an awesome add-on etc. I have yet to see something providing results that look as professional while at the same time allowing to be used with arbitrary writing programs (text editors!), being free & free and being as well documented.
