IMHO LaTeX is better than an ASCII resume, but it really isn't very good for the task. Resumes, because of their length and size constraints, really benefit from some careful massaging of layout. Not that fancy engineer resumes are needed with the market being what it is these days, but you would probably achieve much better results by using a design-oriented tool. Even Word and LibreOffice allow you to arrange things with more precision these days.
