I read about typst a few weeks ago. I no longer make math- or formatting-heavy documents anymore, but if I had had this while I was in university, I would’ve loved to use it.
LaTeX is nice, but there’s some things that are an absolute pain to get right or make them look like you want to.
May I introduce you to typst ?
I’m sorry but you can totally control the margin size in LaTeX if you learn the right incantation

then you spread the entrails slightly and stab towards the sky. Really don’t see what the big fuss is all about.
A long while ago, I used to use kdissert (now semantik) to make all my white papers, from mind map to document, generating latex out, fine tune, and just gorgeous.
Then I was forced to put them in word and hand it off to our graphics design people to put it into InDesign.
I think I’m going to try semantik for more than mind maps again.
it bothers me that the chad’s text also uses comic sans…
For some fucking reason I used to take my analysis and Lin Alg notes in latex
I mean, having readable lin alg equations is rather useful.
What about ODT?
The sane middle ground. Word but it’s yours.
Question sheets in Word - “Hello, and welcome to indent roulette”
Question sheets in LaTeX - “\item{} goes brr”
Org mode for the win
I mean, org-mode was invented because LaTeX is too hard
Yes, but that raises another argument, “lay tex” or “lay tek”… The endless fighting never stops!
Lah-tek
Anything else is badness 10000
I’ve heard leh-tek more than lah-tek.

Lay tex.
Why bother to fit your acronym to latex otherwise. ConTexT is another one. Would be silly otherwise.
The creator might promote saying tech, but that shouldn’t matter since they Internet ignores the creator of the gif format and swears on ghif instead of the desired jiff…
The only thing I hate is how sometimes a document compiles perfectly fine on one machine only to utterly fail on another. On the two machines were I had this happen I have Texlive installed so that I wouldn’t have to look up missing packages. Maybe this is a version mismatch error? I have no clue.
Also I had an old document I wanted to compile which used a ‘\begin{justifying}’ tag. I can’t get that tag to work anymore and had to replace it with just ‘\justifying’
