- The LaTeX fetish (Or: Don’t write in LaTeX! It’s just for typesetting)
He definitevly speaks the truth, although I find a few aspects missing: Length of the document, revisions/version logs, reproducibility. Also: Learning curves. I like to use LaTeX for everything which needs to have a special form. For the rest, I’d rather use Markdown with pandoc to PDF. For slides, I’m using LaTeX Beamer since about two years. I like the possibilites it offers (but its at so many times a huge time pit…)
